I Confess. I have Weak Danshari
Yesterday I had a quick tour of Miho Hatori’s kitchen. I was at Saveur looking for inspiration for dinner and there she was, inviting me in. So I checked it out.
This quote from Miho got me thinking
There’s a word, danshari, I’m really into; it’s the theory of getting rid of clutter, make a space to breathe, and to have a new idea. It’s three words: “to say no,” “throwing out,” and “letting go.”
I looked around my office and it hit me. Damn! Ihave weak danshari! I decided to go out for dinner.
FOLLOW - But you can create space in different ways. Consider what is happening at Kulturpark Plänterwald in the former East Berlin - artists are converting a former amusement park into a “haven for public art”.
Their memories and collective fantasies create space for new visions for culture and install surpluses and slippages in the passage of public time.
Hmmm … collective fantasies creating space? So perhaps it is not just clutter if you don’t see it that way.
