Today we
hop on a ferry and visit Teshima. The
Island was originally used to dump waste. The Island was reborn through art.
We are presented with a concrete monolith with two holes in the roof and small
holes in the floor leaking water.
Windows in the roof highlight native tree birds. More aware of nature when
glimpse a slice of it. Hear birds. Glorious. Unexpected. Not natural.
The building changes with time of day and weather
Tourist: An amazing immersive experience about birth and life change.
Guide: I don’t tell people what to expect. They must experience it for themselves.
The building
is an amazing engineering achievement on this Island. They had to know all.
There is a great big thick book of all the physics involved.
I don’t see
the building as a work of art.
Art should be enjoyable. Sound good. Look good. In tune with basic laws.
No photos allowed inside. Photos are allowed of
numerous instillations we encounter.
