mercury patio is a process of waiting and riding initiated in June, 2022. The moniker, ‘mercury patio’, is borrowed from a waiting room at Ueno station on the Ginza line of Tokyo Metro. Only commuters who enter the station through the specific gate can access there. This lounge, equipped with payphones, benches and vending machines, is also a space to place the statue of Mercury, who in Roman mythology is the god of travel, boundary, trickery and message.
