Abstract
Shusaku Arakawa, a contemporary artist, has been engaged in creative activities by advocating a unique concept of "Reversible Destiny." "Reversible Destiny" means to reverse the fate of dying. It is the allegation that "people do not die". Arakawa has created architectural works in order to realize "Reversible Destiny". In this paper, we focus on the "new sensory gravity" advocated by Arakawa and consider the mechanism of losing balance in Arakawa's architectural works. Arakawa tries to reshape the sense of gravity by making our bodies unbalanced by his architectures. As a result, Arakawa creates an environment that is neither a place nor an act of the body as a phenomenon. Arakawa's architectural works have evolved from extraordinary theme parks to everyday homes. As the mechanism of losing balance becomes more commonplace, our bodies move with more possibilities. As a result, it can be said that Arakawa's concept "Reversible Destiny" has become more feasible.
