Ryue Nishizawa, 2010. A water-drop-shaped concrete shell on a hillside above the Seto Inland Sea on Teshima, Benesse Art Site. One artwork, one room: Rei Naito’s Matrix.
Encountered. A single space the exact size of the work, open to wind and birdsong through two holes in the shell. Shoes off, no photographs.
Grows from
- Rei Naito - where I met her.
Why it matters
One of the harder museums to get to, requiring reservation and planning on ferry schedule to get to a remote island for it. pursuing the art intentionally makes it special.
