Proliferating Immense Life

The flowers repeat the cycle of life and death in perpetuity, continually changing with the flow of time. When people touch them, the flower petals scatter and fall away.

The space of the artwork is created with what teamLab refers to as Ultrasubjective Space. In contrast to spaces that are created through, or in other words cut out by, lenses and perspective, Ultrasubjective Space does not fix the viewer’s viewpoint and in turn frees the body. The wall that the flowers are seen on does not become a boundary between the viewer and the artwork, and the artwork space is continuous with the space of the viewer’s body.
