James Cameron

A temporary store exploring themes of repetition, pattern and both physical and emotional tension.

The James Cameron store was inspired by a range of influences including 1960s French spy films, mid-century office interiors and the photo-realistic work of Thomas Demand.

At the crux of the project were over 400 spearmint-coloured document archive boxes lining the wall, floating above a black and white chequerboard stone floor. The boxes were reflected in the flanking mirrored planes to create a seemingly endless gridded backdrop to the store and the collection. Hovering beyond, a matrix of black tubular extrusions anchored the fitting rooms below, juxtaposing with the adjacent rhythms of the archive boxes and chequerboard flooring.
