Bark Tarot

Dimention variable

Pine bark, newspaper

>> a proposal for collaborators

How it works.
- Nishida will arrange between 200 and 2,000 bark pieces as the installation—on the floor if indoors or on the ground if outdoors. Each piece of bark features words cut from newspapers and affixed to its back.
- Audiences will enter the venue and select a piece after posing a question to the Universe.
- Upon flipping the chosen bark, they will receive a message that resonates with their inquiry.
- Each participant can take their selected bark home as a tangible reminder of their communication with the Universe.
