OTAJIMA

Echigo-Tsumari Triennial

July 29 – September 17,  2018

A pavilion was designed and built as a temporary structure on the playground of Otajima village in the Echigo Tsumari region, Japan. It was a hybrid between a large programmed water sound instrument – a system of pipes, pumps, timers, nozzles and contraptions – and a small water park. It also featured a garden with raised vegetable beds – the largest one containing the village’s ceremonial rice field.
