Maurice Blanchot "Thomas the Obscure"

He saw nothing, and, far from being distressed, he made this absence of vision the culmination of his sight. Useless for seeing, his eye took on extraordinary proportions, developed beyond measure, and, stretching out on the horizon, let the night penetrate its center in order to receive the day from it. And so, through this void, it was sight and the object of sight which mingled together. Not only did this eye which saw nothing apprehend something, it apprehended the cause of its vision. It saw as object that which prevented it from seeing. Its own glance entered into it as an image, just when this glance seemed the death of all image.

Above below beneath above, 2015
Part of Toyo Ito building, Singapore

Above below beneath above refers to aerating roots, the part of certain plants that grows above ground as an extension of the subterranean system of roots. Sixty root-like steel columns – conceived as a as a spatial introduction to CapitaGreen, a new building by Toyo Ito by Toyo Ito in Singapore – rise from the ground, reaching up to a canopy created by an overhang of the building’s façade. Since they are situated on a slope, the roots differ in height from 15 m to 15.6 m. There are seven different types of roots with varying elliptical cross-sections from approximately 0.25 m to 0.75 m. Their amplitude shifts between -1 m and +1 m. In between the columns, twenty polyhedral structures are suspended. Constructed from stainless-steel frames and coloured glass tiles, these are lit from within to create different light conditions. The work creates a skin that negotiates between inside and outside; a soft border between the building, the city, and nature.
