EXHIBITION JAPAN
2020 gestaltete ATAU mit dem Berliner Kollektiv Tape That einen Raum im Kunstzentrum 3331 Arts Chiyoda in Tokio – Teil einer internationalen Ausstellung von Tape-Künstlern aus aller Welt, organisiert von mt masking tape (Kamoi). Gemeinsam mit Infra und Adrian Dittert entstand die Skulptur DASMO aus präzise ineinandergesteckten Holzpaneelen. Die japanische Kultur und das lokale Washi-Tape prägten Ataus Stil nachhaltig: Tape in Streifen legen, zerschneiden, versetzt neu zusammensetzen.
DASMO
The sculpture design of "DASMO" was developed by Infra, the idea for the surface design came from Adrian Dittert and me.
The basic concept was to create a sculpture that is easy to transport. Infra cut two rectangles into triangles of different sizes and put them together.
The end result is a sculpture that plays
with perception, shape and color.
LIMIT
Since I started tape art I work on pushing the limits of tape as a medium.
Smooth gradients are one of the things that logically you can‘t really do with tape. In the 3331 art gallery in Tokyo I decided to tape one of four room corners in a gradient pattern that I developed in recent years.
In this art work I tried to break the limitations of the medium and create a space in which our perception of what is present dissolves.

Dedicated to my brother
Isidor Hámos.
This artwork has a very special reference to me. In an abstract way it reflects the relationship between two brothers. I created this artwork in the first days of the Japan tour that I did with Tape That in 2020. I couldn't wait to get started, that I spent 2-3 hours working on this piece in my room every evening after we finished working on the main installations.
