Each of us lives in this universe, and our universe is composed of time and space. But do you know what time is? Do you know what space is? Is a second, a minute, an hour, a day, a year a time? Are the earth, the universe, and outer space space? I thought, maybe not. Maybe a hundred years of life is just a "thought" in the universe, maybe everything we have is just a grain of dust in the universe. Seemingly illusory religious theories often have very concrete manifestations in our lives. "Seeing Wutai Mountain Again" takes the Buddhist allusions and rituals of Wutai Mountain as the basis of creation, but breaks out of the simple storytelling pattern, breaks the form and space, and asks endless time. Through rich and infinitely changing scenes, it gathers and deconstructs One day, one year, one lifetime, one thought. The "See Wutai Mountain" theater built according to the mountain situation is like an open scripture. Before entering the main theater, the audience must first pass through the 730-meter-long scripture scroll, which is engraved with the scriptures of the "Avatamsaka Sutra", arranged from high to low to form an involute sequence, forming seven "folding" spaces. When we walk into the theater, we will meet a woman named Cao Huifen, a young man named Xiao Liu who delivers a courier, and many people who seem to live beside us. What we are looking forward to is how Buddhism can be combined with today's life in Wutai Mountain, and how to tell the story of life, not just explain Buddhism... The theater design of "Seeing Wutai Mountain" This is a sculpture that is not a sculpture. It is a building that is not a building; it is a building without shape, it is a building that is disappearing; it is a building that can listen, it is a building that can talk; it is a building that reflects history, it is A building that inspires wisdom...For the needs of large-scale sitcom performances, the theater space is a large space with a length of 131 meters, a width of 75 meters, and a height of 21.5 meters. However, when you approach it, you can't fully understand all of it. With a length of 730 meters, the slowly unfolding "Sutras" are placed in front of the theater, arranged from high to low to form a gradual sequence, which becomes the prelude to the theater performance. The theater has become a huge scripture that is being opened, indicating a treasure house of knowledge and wisdom. "Jingzhe" and the theater use skins of different materials, including stone, glass and stainless steel. Through reflection and perspective, the volume is decomposed into undulating patterns of different scales. The application of mixed materials reflects the surrounding scene in different directions. The blue sky, white clouds, mountains, trees, and people close to her are all in the middle of what seems to be and what seems to be nothing, which greatly dissolves the outline of the building. , to break the pressure of the building volume on the surrounding environment. The "folding" space that is opened on each page is unique. Through the use of contemporary installation art, small spaces related to religion are displayed. This multi-deductive "Jingzhe" draws on the traditional Chinese gardening method and uses spatial order to construct a spiritual place with rich connotations. Let the audience stop and meditate between the ups and downs of the "Sutras", and start a dialogue between themselves and the space and the scene, thereby stimulating the psychological experience and spiritual feelings of the audience. The changing light and shadow of a stone and a tree in the venue records the dawn and dusk of a day and the spring, summer, autumn and winter of a year, allowing people to abandon the distracting thoughts of the world, broaden their horizons and minds, and perceive the wisdom of Buddha. This not only brings a shock to the senses, but also arouses the viewer's speculation. The part where the "Jingzhe" is "lifted up" forms a passage for tourists to pass through, presenting the detailed construction of traditional Chinese wooden buildings, which is a metaphor for the cultural environment in which the building is located. The brass bells hanging from the ends of the overhanging rods make a crisp and melodious sound, and the existence of this building can be felt from far away. At one end close to the road in the scenic area, the "Jingzhe" is directly inserted into the gravel ground with a highly reflective stainless steel top surface, highlighting the strength and purity of the "Jingzhe" structure, and the reflection of the sky and moonlit night becomes the first sight of the audience. image of. At the same time, the Huayan Sutra is engraved on the surface materials of different materials, with the idea of "Sutra folds" attached to convey the theme and content of the performance to visitors. The stone materials in the site are all from Xinzhou. Whether it is within the "Sutras" on the side of the passage leading to the theater, there are 28 "stubborn" boulders, or within the "Sutras" on the side of the passage leaving the theater, there are 28 scriptures that are " The black stones of "attraction" and the pebbles of various colors covering the landscape on the other side of the passage all imply the regional characteristics of the building.
