Ruptured Hotel Wall - Light Sculpture of Flames

teamLab, 2016, Interactive Light Sculpture, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

The space consists of a VOLVO XC40, a ruptured wall, and teamLab's work Light Sculpture of Flames. This space inside the hotel was built during the years of steep modern economic growth, but after a short period, it was abandoned, becoming a space-time where time had stopped completely. The forest, rocks, and caves of Mifuneyama Rakuen have formed over a long time, and people in every era have sought meaning in them over the millennia. It is the ongoing, continuous relationship between nature and humans that has made the border between the forest and garden ambiguous, keeping this cultural heritage beautiful and pleasing. By breaking through the walls that have divided this continuity, the space is reconnected to the continuity of the world and time, creating a place where various space-times intersect and overlap.
