Flowers from the Floating Flower Garden

A flower shop with a wide variety of orchids that bloomed as part of an artwork.
The flowers in Floating Flower Garden are all from the orchid family. Many orchids grow in areas without soil such as on trees and rocks.
Orchids were flowering plants that most enjoyed diversity during evolution, and it is said that approximately 10% of all terrestrial plant species belong to the orchid family. Because of their diversity, many orchids evolved to become most adapted to live on rocks and trees instead of land with soil where other plants grew abundantly. In an area without soil, in other words, traditionally a least favorable environment for plants, orchids evolved to be most adapted for a world without competition. They are thought to have appeared at a later stage of evolution compared to other plants, and continue to diversify to this day, making us wonder what evolution chose to favor.

Products

Living Knitted Sculpture

It is said that knitting originated in the Old Stone Age, and that the very first form of knitting was a net, crafted with a single continuous yarn. This product was created with crochet, and no two products are the same. Place a Vanda orchid from the Floating Flower Garden and let it grow in this net, carefully hand-crafted with a single yarn.
Vanda orchids do not grow on soil but live on tall trees. Hang a Vanda in one of these nets, and the roots, overwhelming with the power of life, will take in water from the air.The Vanda and net become one, forming a sculpture that continues to grow day by day. A part of Floating Flower Garden grows and spreads into new spaces, becoming a living sculpture.
Vandas are full of life, and flowers will blossom several times a year if the plants are taken care of, their flowers growing up to 2 meters tall including their roots. Vandas are said to have a lifespan of over 50 years, and may live on for eternity if new bulbs develop.

This work is a collaboration between artist MASAKO.Y and fashion designer Hana Minowa.
MASAKO.YStudied abroad on her own in Australia, New York and London. Began working out of Tokyo as an artist in 2018. Active in a wide range of genres, from sculpture, painting and other art works to spatial design, apparel, advertising and product design, due to her abundance of learning experience. Focused on expanding new forms of expression in modern times while reexamining the cultural history of her home country of Japan, as seen in her presentation of Japanese-style gold folding screens created solely with 100% acrylic paints.Currently building a conceptual art-based facility called “SANSUI.”
Hana MinowaI am a knitter and textiles artist based in London. I started at Central Saint Martins with a desire to explore the sculptural qualities of knitwear. I was particularly interested in the endless possibilities for texture and structure created by manipulating a single strand of string. I experimented with different weights of yarn, fibres and techniques to express common themes that influence my work, such as time, memory and traces.

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. teamlab.art Biographical Documents teamLab is represented by Pace Gallery, Martin Browne Contemporary and Ikkan Art.
