It was a strange way to learn about a duo whose motto was “we have decided not to die.” In the early 1990s, Arakawa and Gins built a sprawling installation—part theme park, part land art, part philosophy come to life—in Japan’s Gifu Prefecture. The Site of Reversible Destiny, as they called it, promises to stave off death by challenging both body and spirit. As soon as we read about it, we knew we had to go.
