When a mirror is placed in water and the sunlight is reflected, rainbow-colored light is generated like a prism.

I wanted to create a place to dance to understand myself using the rainbow as Yorishiro, just as the primitive people danced around the fire.

 

Yorishiro (憑代) is an object that the spirit of the truth relies on.

Visionz Rainbow Hut

 

I participated in a festival called Visionz, which was launched by a friend I met in Goa, India.

It was held every January from 2000 to 2002 at a ranch about an hour drive from Takaka on the South Island of New Zealand to Fairwell Spit.

It was an event to spread permaculture, including a trans zone, a live zone, and a healing zone, and the rainbow hut was used as a chill-out zone.

Rainbow Hut is a place where people gather, talk, and dance together.

Long before humanity had language, on cold and dark nights, people gathered around the bonfire.

The sounds of striking branches and stones eventually became a rhythm, and perhaps, they naturally began to dance. There existed a form of non-verbal communication, rooted in a profound sense of trust.

To dance freely was not merely a way to connect with others; it was a way to return to the world again.

Today, the "I" as the observer and the "world" as the observed have become completely separate.

My own vibration and the vibration of the world have ceased to resonate with one another.

I am drawn to the dancing of Iggy Pop, Ian Curtis, and Björk.

They do not seem to be "expressing" anything.

Rather, it appears as though the vibrations of the space itself are being released through their bodies.

The meaning of dance may differ for everyone.

Rainbow Hut is a place where anyone who wishes to dance can do so freely, in their own unique way—no matter what form that dance may take.
