About Circle Origin Source Arte Pública

Circle Origin Source é unha obra de arte pública situada na área tribal de Rinari, en Taiwán. A obra abrangue aproximadamente 16 metros cadrados e inclúe arte no chan da praza, unha balaustrada decorada xunto ao aparcadoiro e dúas columnas na entrada do centro de visitantes. Círculos concéntricos superpostos levan padróns totémicos baseados na cultura Paiwan. Combínanse pedra, cobre, aceiro inoxidable, latón e ladrillo para que a obra perdure no tempo. O deseño honra as tres tribos que reconstruíron os seus fogares tras a tormenta de 2009 e ofrece á comunidade un lugar común de encontro e celebración de cerimonias.

Production Technology
Original stone combined with copper, stainless steel, brick, etc., to create long-lasting works and serve as the basis for setting materials. The bottom layer of PC pavement is then installed with stainless steel and brass as totem patterns on the floor, then inlaid with different elements and colors of stone on the floor to create an intimate visual artwork that brings the community together.
Design Challenge
During the development of the work, the culture, traditions, myths, and totems of the entire Rinari tribe and Aboriginal people were used as the starting point. Therefore, it took quite some time to study and refine the totems. It has experienced several challenges and problems in the process, which has overcome one after another to present the complete totem of Circle, Origin, Source.
Research
In the summer of August 8th, 2009, Taiwan has suffered from a painful memory. Six hundred eighty-one people lost their lives in the storm, and 18 people were unaccounted for. After experiencing the pain and sorrow of being displaced, three different tribes united to build a home in Rinari, Majia Township, Pingtung County. The designers used the culture of the Paiwan tribe to create heart-warming public artworks to help the tribe members understand, support each other and overcome the pain together.
Inspiration
This project, Circle, Origin, Source, takes the meaning of the origin of aboriginal life and speaks of the cultural commonalities among different tribes. The Rinari tribe is located in Majia Township, Pingtung County; the Majia, Haocha, and Dashe tribe relocated here after the Morakot disaster in 2009. The tribesmen experienced the pain of the typhoon disaster and worked hard to rebuild their homes. The work was born within the expectation of accompanying the tribesmen to start a new life and encouraging each other.
Project Duration
The project finished in December 2019 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow
As for the square in front of the visitor center, many artists and artisans were gathered at the center to the concentric circles, where clan members readjust to each other in the new environment. A festival is also a place to participate in rituals and dances to communicate and open our hearts, evoking the feeling of origin.
