事事無礙庵：映像と質量の四句分別

This work attempts to implement the tetralemma of image and matter - being, non-being, being and non-being, neither being nor non-being - within the smallest existing symbolic universe: the Chashitsu, the room used for the Japanese tea ceremony.
What exists is the receptacle; what does not exist is the image. The two intersect in a translucent interface, ultimately becoming something that is neither being nor non-being.
The Tokonoma - the elevated alcove of the room - functions as a UI, a user interface, while the items that adorn the space - the Kakemono, the flowers, the utensils - operate as protocols.
When fluid images are introduced into this ensemble, the tea room initiates a back-and-forth flow titled “Noise is Silence ∾ Silence is Noise,” in which sound and shadow overlap as they alternate phases. The four states - the tetralemma - shift over time as different spatial profiles.
In this way, the tea room quietly anticipates a new state of digital and material existence, serving as a model of Jijimuge - the Unobstructed Interpenetration of All Things.
