THING & COUNTERTHING
Thing: Bussabok (Relic Shrine)
Counter Thing: September 11 Memorial
The purpose of this diagram is to show the quality of both
Thing and Counter Thing as a portal, meaning that the object itself has ability
to trigger the viewer’s mind into thinking to create a space within their own
head. The Thing is a Relic Shrine that keeps the bone of the Son of King Rama
II where the design of the Relic Shrine itself was based on the concept of Thai
cosmology there for the people with basic background of this will have an image
inside their head, a space where the owner of this shrine resides which is
Mount Meru. It is the static object made with the sole purpose of displaying to
the viewer the remains of Phra Chao Yukantorn.
The counter thing which is the September 11 Memorial was
made with a similar purpose therefore shares the same similarity. The names of
the victim were inscribed onto the black marble of the memorial which is the
imprint of the Twin Tower.
