Massless Sun, Surface Boundary of an Emerged Space
teamLab, 2023, Digital Installation, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi
A sphere of light.
The sphere of light can be clearly perceived in the space as a mass seemingly made of solidified light, however, there is no material surface boundary. The perception of the boundary between the artwork and your body is ambiguous.
Likewise, there is no material surface boundary in the window of space in which the sphere appears, but a cognitive surface boundary that exists only in people’s perception emerges.
Light does not solidify, and masses made entirely of light do not exist in the universe. In other words, this sphere of light only exists in your perception.
The artwork cannot exist on its own - its existence is a phenomenon created by its environment.
The work questions the notion of existence and what it means.
