A new permanent exhibition of teamLab will open in Izura, Ibaraki Prefecture on 30 September 2024. The nighttime exhibition will be held in the remains of rice terraces tucked away in a valley deep in the forest that will be transformed into teamLab’s art space as dusk falls.
teamLab has been working on Digitized Nature project, exploring how nature can become art in its natural state. This project is based on the idea that by creating a series of works that feature beings that have existed for a long time and transcend our own time, going beyond the boundaries of our perception of the continuity of time and creating a place where one can feel that the existence is part of the long, long continuity of life. By using this long-standing entity as it is, the exhibition attempt to transcend the boundaries of our perception of the continuity of time, piling up meaning in this place even in the present day.
