Re-Reading the Cityscape. How Saihate Tahi’s Poetry Installation Shi no kasoku Opens Up New Urban Imaginaries

Puetzer, Sarah

Abstrak

In recent years, contemporary Japanese poet Saihate Tahi has expanded poetry beyond the page, creating immersive poetic spaces. One such work, Shi no kasoku, is a one-line poetry installation in a back alley, where text and urban space merge. This paper examines how a site-specific poetry installation has the potential to transform reading into an embodied experience, reshaping perceptions of urban space. Drawing on Miryam Sas’ notion of encounter (deai) and spatial theorists like Lefebvre and Massey, I argue that Shi no kasoku serves as both a site of encounter and resistance, prompting readers to reimagine the everyday space of the city.
