“Beautifully Incomplete” is Shin Egashira’s solo exhibition at the London gallery Betts Project. Japanese artist and architect exhibits a selection of drawings and objects that do not concern built architecture but are a narrative tool through fragments of the British metropolis and domestic life.

Since 1988 Egashima has been wandering around London - where he currently lives and teaches – in search of waste with which to build his own installations. Frames, doors and windows, audio systems, pipes, bricks... are assembled in absurd machines that represent a city in continuous remodelling and perpetually incomplete. The drawings in the exhibition belong to three of the three main series of the Japanese author: Objects Viewed from the Erased City, Beauty of Our Pain and Parallel Garden. 

The exhibition is open until 27 July 2019 in gallery spaces at 100 Central Street, London.
