project originated by observing the delicate geometric divisions
between public and private space as couples progressively crowded the
Kamo river bank and its western borders near Gion, Kyoto, in 1994. As
night advanced, couples arrived from the bars, night clubs and and
restaurants of the old quarter, and sat in twos, creating a chain
kilometres long, the Shijo Ohashi bridge at a focal point in the
centre. Zeno's paradox was silently observed: spaces divided in half as
each couple arrived... The space between each couple too is a space
between one and one, traversed by the gesture of a hand, a word, or a
sense of emptiness: intimacy is always a question of two solitudes. A
measurable space, and subsequently an abstract field of emotion,
vibration and silence. A spontaneous urban choreography where the
geometries of the space between one and one are in constant flux. |
