Proliferating Immense Life in the Church Ruins - A Whole Year per Year

In the same flow of time as in the real world, flowers change with the seasons.Flowers repeat the cycle of birth and death, proliferation and extinction, changing along with the seasons. When people touch the flowers, they fall and die. 
The world of the artwork is flattened through teamLab's concept of Ultrasubjective Space. Unlike when flattening by lenses or perspective, the viewer's viewpoint is not fixed, and the viewer's body is free to move. The wall on which the world of the work is depicted does not become a boundary between the people and the work; the flowers blur the boundary between the walls, and the world of the work is continuous with the space where the people's bodies are located.

About teamLab

teamLab (f. 2001) is an international art collective. Their collaborative practice seeks to navigate the confluence of art, science, technology, and the natural world. Through art, the interdisciplinary group of specialists, including artists, programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians, and architects, aims to explore the relationship between the self and the world, and new forms of perception.

In order to understand the world around them, people separate it into independent entities with perceived boundaries between them. teamLab seeks to transcend these boundaries in our perceptions of the world, of the relationship between the self and the world, and of the continuity of time. Everything exists in a long, fragile yet miraculous, borderless continuity.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra;  Amos Rex, Helsinki; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; and Asia Society Museum, New York, among others.

A partial Grand Opening will be held on May 2, 2025. The opening exhibition will be "Proliferating Immense Life on Church Ruins - A Whole Year per Year", a work by TeamLab, a globally acclaimed pioneer of innovative digital art. The courtyard will be lined with works by leading Japanese contemporary artists such as Yoshitomo Nara, Kohei Nawa, Noe Aoki, Shiro Matsui, and Masayuki Nagare.
