Katsusuke Maeda “The Long History of Small L. Vuitton Trunks—The Romance and Beauty of a 100-Year Journey”

Gallery Little High
Finished
Katsusuke Maeda is one of several collectors of antique Louis Vuitton trunks, but the only in the world to use his private collection to make ultra-detailed paper replicas in a 1:12 scale (the international standard for dollhouses). His various miniature Louis Vuitton trunks are hyper-realistic paper crafts that reproduce their originals exactly, down to individual parts and damage marks from journeys. Calling this exhibition a “sculptural picture show of history,” Maeda has endowed each of his diminutive paper trunks with historical accuracy and the ambiance of their eras. These “capsules of time” evoke nostalgia, fun, beauty, and romance with a tinge of melancholy, inviting the viewer on a journey to the world of 100 years ago.
