Absent Core 2014

A reference to the way of Zen Buddhism, the temples inner world, the core. Installed in the center of Reykjavík on the 20th of June on a very wet day. In this monumental sculpture I reflect on the old Buddhist temple Daisen-in founded in 1509 in Kyoto, Japan. Its Zen gardens and its structural and functional traditions.
