ARTWORKS

Four Seasons Kishoza - A Stage Curtain Spun from Time

The artwork depicts the townscape of Nihonbashi and people's activities during the reformation of the Meiji Era, when Kishoza, the predecessor of the Meijiza, was born. Various people and occupations of the day, as well as historical characters (Takamori Saigo, Taisuke Itagaki, and Hirobumi Ito) also appear in the town.
The weather of the artwork world reflects the real-time weather in Nihonbashi, and it changes daily with the changing of the seasons. It grows bright with the beginning of each day in Nihonbashi, it turns to dusk with the real-time sunset, and finally turns dark as night falls. The activities of the people change accordingly. If it is raining in Nihonbashi, it will rain in the world of the artwork as well.
Further, in accordance with the change of the season, typical events such as cherry blossom viewing, festivals, autumn leaves, and snow landscapes can be seen in the world of the artwork.

ARTIST

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 exhibitions have been held in cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Singapore, Silicon Valley, Beijing, and Melbourne among others. teamLab museums and large-scale permanent exhibitions include teamLab Borderless and teamLab Planets in Tokyo, teamLab Borderless Shanghai, and teamLab SuperNature Macao, with more to open in cities including Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Utrecht.

teamLab’s works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Asia Society Museum, New York; Borusan Contemporary Art Collection, Istanbul; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Amos Rex, Helsinki.
