Inspired by nature and the elements, teamLab’s permanent exhibition, teamLab: Field of Wind, Rain and Sun, is housed on the grounds of a can factory in Higashi Osaka.
Artworks
What sets this teamLab exhibition apart from teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo is its distinctive location in an industrial-turned-greenland space. Each of the artworks utilizes the elements of wind, rain, and sun.
The artworks you can see at teamLab Field of Wind, Rain and Sun include:
- Enso of the Sun: Displayed at midday, when the sun is at its highest point. Those who climb the stairs will see a full circle rainbow of light
- Ephemeral Crystallized Rain: On a night of heavy rain, the rain falling on the grass will transform into an artwork illuminated with lights.
- Spatial Calligraphy of Light and Wind: On sunny days with wind, this artwork will appear.
- Field of Wind, Rain and Sun: A grassland that plays music as you walk.
- Life is an Ephemeral Light Born in the Sea of Darkness: Displayed at dusk to dawn, ephemeral light comes out of darkness.
- Sea of the Sun: Shown throughout the day, this artwork is created using glass rocks which shine.
- Tea in Spontaneous Order — Dynamic Equilibrium Color: When the tea is poured, it begins to glow.
