A series of giant zips have appeared in Japan.
The huge fastenings have been seen on a wall, splitting a room in two, and across the length of a pond.
The works are the creation of mysterious artist Kitagawa Jun, who started off painting a 2D version on the wall of a pedestrian tunnel before deciding that 3D zips would make even more impact.

Imaginatif: Kerja-kerja adalah ciptaan dari artis misteri Kitagawa Jun, yang bermula dengan lukisan versi 2D di dinding terowong pejalan kaki sebelum memutuskan bahawa ZIP 3D akan membuat kesan yang lebih menakjubkan.

Kitagawa explained: ‘I painted murals of giant zippers on a tunnel in Roppongi. As it was quite a popular piece I had the idea that from then I would make three-dimensional versions.’
He knew he had made the right decision when his room zipper became the highlight of a housing exhibition.
