Flowers in the Sandfall - Tokushima

Height 5210mm, Width1280mm, Depth160mm, a giant three-dimensional LED object.

With the changing of the months throughout the year, the flowers of Tokushima bloom and scatter. They are in constant change. Flowers grow, bud, and blossom, and eventually they scatter, wither, and fade away. The flowers are in a continual cycle of birth and death, repeating forever.

When a person stands before the flow of falling sand, the sand’s path is changed by their presence; the flow of the sand parts, and a space opens.

Since ancient times, people have gazed at falling sand to gain a sense of the passage of short moments in time—and they have watched the changing of flowers to feel the passage of long-term changes in time.

The work is rendered in real time by a computer program; it is neither a pre-recorded animation nor on loop. The interaction between the viewer and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork. Previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur.

ARTIEST

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