TeamLab exhibition held in Himeji for the first time in 4 years

Four years ago, a teamLab exhibition was held at the Himeji City Museum of Art, which had just completed renovation work. Many people thought that art museums were all about quietly looking at each work and appreciating them, but by presenting them with a style of walking through the venue surrounded by images, they were encouraged to think, ``There are other ways to enjoy it.'' This was an exhibition that taught me that.

The teamLab exhibition is being held in Himeji for the first time in four years.

The exhibition ``TeamLab: Existence in an Infinite Continuity'' is being held to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the opening of Himeji City Museum of Art, the 30th anniversary of Himeji Castle's registration as a World Heritage Site, and as part of the All Himeji Arts & Life Project.

The period is divided into the first half and the second half, the first half from Saturday, July 22, 2023 to Monday, October 9, 2023, and the second half from Saturday, October 21, 2024 to Sunday, January 21, 2024. Held until. All works will be replaced, and a total of 10 works will be exhibited. This is an exhibition where viewers can immerse themselves in a borderless sense of unity between a real space in which viewers can move freely and a work space created using teamLab's unique video technology.

teamLab exhibitions are held in various locations, but even if the same work is held in a different venue, it will look different depending on the layout, such as the size of the space and the position of the pillars, so it creates a space unique to Himeji City Museum of Art. Masu.

What teamLab values ​​is creating a "super-subjective space." It is difficult to put it into words or understand it in your head, but the real place you are in and what you see in the work are connected, and as time passes, a different feeling is born, so you can experience it with your heart. That's the best way to enjoy it.

Although I use photographs in this article, they are simply snapshots of the passage of time. An immersive experience where you can enjoy your time and feel one with the work. I think that is the real thrill of this exhibition.

A brief introduction to 5 works from the previous period

We will briefly introduce five works from the first half of "teamLab: Existence in Infinite Continuity" (July 22, 2023 (Saturday) to October 9, 2023 (Monday, holiday)).

"Life Lives on the Power of Life II" looks like a digitalized Japanese hanging scroll, but teamLab's work goes far beyond that.

Even if you project a work cut out using a lens or perspective onto a display surface, there should be a border there, but there isn't one here. The real world you're in and the work space are three-dimensionally connected, so get up close and take a closer look. The word "raw" can be seen in the slowly moving video. If you can't see it, wait a while and try again.

``Autonomous Abstraction, a continuous phenomenon from the universe to your own existence'' is a phenomenon in which when you touch a point of light, the rhythm of the blinking and hue changes, causing the dot to fall apart and then come together again. A work of art. With the flickering lights and the sounds resonating in the space, this piece gives you a sense of exhilaration as you participate in the work.

``Forest of Infinite Proliferating Life'' is a work that you can enjoy while looking around rather than looking at one side. The life and death of flowers. A flower that scatters when you touch it. If you stay there for a long time, you will feel as if you are having a conversation with the flowers shown.

“Reverse Indiscretion – Light in Dark” This is also a mysterious space. ``Sky calligraphy'' drawn in the air with a brush. At teamLab, the ``calligraphy'' written in space is called ``sky calligraphy,'' and by reconstructing the depth, speed, and strength of the ink marks into a three-dimensional form using teamLab's unique interpretation, the calligraphy can be made from two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. I am going back and forth between.

The first piece I introduced, which looks like a hanging scroll, ``Life Lives on the Power of Life II,'' also has the word ``life'' written in blank calligraphy. This is the greatness of teamLab's "super-subjective space." Although the work is supposed to be rotating in a fixed direction, it visually appears to be rotating both to the left and to the right.

If you're going with someone, it might be interesting to talk about how it looks. Even though you are supposed to be seeing the same thing, you may be seeing different things.

“Dissipative Figures – Human, Light in Dark” shows what appears to be a human figure and is constantly moving. At teamLab, we create three-dimensional sculptures in digital space called "light sculptures."

In this work, the swirling lines and ambiguous boundaries make what looks like a human figure appear more vibrant and powerful. "Existence in an infinite series." These words carry a lot of weight. Try viewing it by moving closer or further away.

In the second half (Saturday, October 21st to Sunday, January 21st, 2024), another work will be exhibited. I'm looking forward to it because it will show us a completely different world of work. To reduce congestion, reservations can be made on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays with a specific date and time, so we recommend taking advantage of this. “teamLab: Existence in an infinite series”

As part of the "Garden Art Project" that utilizes the front garden of the Himeji City Museum of Art, "Fujiko Nakatani White Landscape - Primal Earth" is the second garden art project by Fujiko Nakatani, a "fog artist" who creates fog sculptures. Fog Sculpture #47769” will be held from May 3, 2023 (Wednesday/holiday) to November 26, 2023 (Sunday).

The garden art project is a work of art that depicts the world cultural heritage and national treasure Himeji Castle, the Himeji City Museum of Art, a nationally registered tangible cultural property, and the unique landscape that overlooks the garden where 13 sculptures are exhibited. This is an initiative to do so.

Fog occurs twice an hour between 10am and 5pm. Normally, it runs for 10 minutes from 00:00 every hour, and for 5 minutes from 30:30 every hour. In case of cloudy weather or low temperature and high humidity, the service will be closed for 5 minutes from 00:00 every hour, and for 5 minutes from 30:30 of every hour, and will be temporarily suspended in case of rain or 100% humidity.

Admission is free. Please enjoy this together with the teamLab exhibition.
