teamLab: Existence in Perception - Engyoji Temple
Exploring the notion of a world without boundaries in every dimension, teamLab’s creations in recent years have been themed around vast questions such as the meaning of life and existence.
For example, there is an artwork that has been gaining attention in which a sphere of light appears to float in a space that is in reality physically empty. It is an artwork that incites viewers to realize that the world we see with our eyes does not necessarily exist, and that what we see exists only in the viewer.
The Jiki-do, the exhibition venue, is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property and one of the three temple buildings (collectively called Mitsunodo) of the prestigious Shoshazan Engyoji Temple, which has over 1,000 years of history since the Heian period (794 and 1185). The current building is from the Muromachi period (1336 to 1573), and was a multi-purpose space for monks used for learning, lodging, and dining. The two-storey structure is one of Japan’s largest-scale Important Cultural Properties designated by the country, and in this exhibition, teamLab transforms its first floor, a 38m-long hall, into a new artwork space.
The artworks of this exhibition will lead viewers to perceive forms of light and radiance that do not physically exist, produced by phenomena born from the effects of the environment and our perception, showcasing the innovativeness of teamLab’s work.
When we enter teamLab’s artwork space, we come face to face with our own existence that is continuous with the space. The world does not exist separately, independent from us - rather it is continuous with us, together with us, and within us. The spheres of light created by teamLab inside Engyoji Temple, a venue regarded as a sacred location for the arts, invites viewers to reconsider the universal question of life and existence.

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.
