Wandering into the Enso / Step into the Light Circle
2021
00:01:46
A ensō appears in the space, and the body steps into that ensō.
In the space, circles are drawn and swarms of butterflies fly about. When you touch a butterfly, it dies and falls. When you enter those circles or swarms of butterflies, an entirely different world unfolds inside.
Ensō, one of the forms of calligraphy and painting in Zen—a circle drawn with a single brushstroke—was traditionally created by drawing a circular form in the air with a staff or similar object. It is said to symbolically express enlightenment and truth, the universe as a whole, and equality. It is also a circle that reflects the mind of the viewer, and its interpretation is left to the viewer.
