YAKUSHIMA ISLAND: Detaching of the Surface
of the Sea
2000.3.31–4.2
An attempt to create a water mirror by
cutting the sea surface to a square shape, using the level differences in the
tide.
It was planned as something to be paired
with the giant mirror for gCLOCK: A Shaft of Light of 70 million yearsh (1990).
In the
morning of April 1, we set up a 4u pool
between two poles pinned at high and low tides the day before.
However, the level of the tide did not rise
enough, so a completely clearcut sea surface did not appear when the tide fell.
It was an experiment, but we confirmed that
our plan is highly realizable.
