"Nodate (No = Field, date/tate = preparing tea, places) is the term
for a special way of the tea ceremony, which is hold outdoors.
Since the sixties I have made a series of experiments, in which I
visited different topographies to examine there points of echo. This
time I plan to concentrate on the island in the center of Berlin,
whose atmosphere in the year of 1996 is filled with the sounds of
construction works. I shall go there and mark listening points.
To listen in a certain direction is an unusual and refreshing action.
A proposal to stop at the marked places and to open once senses." (Akio Suzuki)
