Abstract
This article shows how a fragment of architecture, a waste product specific to a society in the process of modernization, the tomason in Japan from the 1970s onwards, came to re-evaluate a certain vision of art (object, author) in particular through a specific relationship to space. The tomason refers to an artistic practice little known in the West, which a recent publication has just highlighted (Akasegawa 2024). This will enable us to develop new links with other artistic and cultural practices.
