Other Projects by Arakawa + Gins, Reversible Destiny Foundation
Site of Reversible Destiny, Yoro
“The best way to get a handle on
how a person is situated in the world is actually to construct one, a handle
expressly made for the purpose.„
—ARAKAWA and Madeline GINS, "Architecture: Sites
of Reversible Destiny"
Arakawa and Gins’ Site of Reversible Destiny-Yoro
presents itself to the visitor as a carefully considered construction of
undulating planes, shifting colors, and disorienting spaces, a place of
purposeful experimentation. Nine structures called “Architectural Fragments”
with names such as “Geographical Ghost” and “Exactitude Ridge” are set in the
terrain of the Elliptical Field. Arakawa and Gins propose that “juggling,
jumbling, and reshuffling the body with its fund of landing sites introduces a
person to the process that constitutes being a person. To reverse destiny one
must first re-enter destiny, re-positioning oneself within the destiny of being
slated to live without ever knowing how and why. The re-entering of destiny
must be highly calculated. The world and everything in it will have to be
transformed into a site of reversible destiny.”
Located
in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
Completed
in 1996
