Teshima Art Museum
Ryue Nishizawa
- Outline
- A total of 6,000 m3 of soil is piled up on a small hillside on Teshima, a nature-rich island in the Seto Inland Sea where industrial waste was once dumped. The mound of fill was formed with mortar, reinforcing bars were placed on top, and concrete was poured over a period of 20 hours. The fill is not completely covered with concrete, but rather two large holes are drilled. Later, all the soil is scraped out of the holes to create a white architecture in the form of water droplets. Droplets of water gush out of the small holes in the floor and move like living creatures along the slight incline of the floor. This is "Matrix," an exhibit by Rei Naito. Light, wind, and rain enter through two large holes, and architecture, art, and nature merge in a vast void that was once filled with soil.
