MA: Space/Time in the Garden
of Ryoan-ji
A film by Takahiko Iimura & Arata Isozaki
Originally, the word MA was
used to define a distance
between two points or two sounds. As a result, more
importance became attached to the emptiness or silence-
the space between- than to a thing or sound itself.
This concept of `time equals space' is fundamental
to the arts of Japan.
