Stereotomy is the art of cutting three-dimensional solids into specific shapes. It is used in particular in the art of stone-cutting, stone being evoked here by concrete. The work covers the large openings of a small modernist building on the waterfront, formerly a fishing boat ticket office. Illuminated at night, the work is reminiscent of the lantern, a popular Taiwanese object.
