FINAL feb26 [the bath, the bathROOM & the bareness]
The movie I am working with is SPIRIT AWAY (Hayao Miyazaki 2001). It is about a family that got lost in an “enchanted” place where is located a HOTEL which main guests are Gods that travel there in order to relax and take herbal and aromatic baths. So, while the human lose materiality, gods win it while they get closer to this world, having and individual meaning of renewing yourself. The luxury aspect in this hotel for Gods overturned toward the idea of bathing where the spaces more than static spaces are processes, to convert this in a real bath you need the playfulness, the inventiveness, the intuition, the logic, the strategy; it is a fantasy system.
