Asymmetric Existence is a single sculpture formed by the integration of two light sculptures: one that appears only in the physical space and is not reflected in the mirror, and another that appears only inside the mirror and does not exist in real space. Inherently, mirrors reflect physical space symmetrically. However, here, real space and the mirror image space are not in a symmetrical relationship. (Excerpt from the text)

Rooted in teamLab’s conceptual exploration of how existence is continuous with its surrounding environment, Life is the Small Sun Flickering in the Dark frames each sunflower not as an isolated entity, but as part of an interconnected web of relationships. Rather than treating art as a static object with rigid physical boundaries, the collective uses flow, light, and sound to establish an evolving ecological field where audience participation actively shapes the structure of the piece.(Excerpt from the text)

teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will introduce the ‘Tea Caddy - Copper 120g’ to its shop starting Saturday, August 8, 2026. Made by Kaikado, a historic maker of handmade tea caddies in Kyoto, and engraved with the teamLab logo, the item will be available at the Sketch Factory inside the museum. teamLab Biovortex Kyoto will continue to deepen its engagement with Kyoto’s historic craftsmanship and explore new initiatives. Tea Caddy - Copper 120g Each Kaikado tea caddy is individually handcrafted, one by one, using the same process and the same method that have remained unchanged for over a century. Boasting a superb airtight feature, it protects and preserves a variety of products; coffee beans, tea leaves, dried herbs, spices and pasta from moisture and humidity. Thanks to this high airtightness, when you release your hand while closing the lid, the lid descends slowly to the exact level in a silky and silent motion—a movement unique to a tea caddy. Gently caressing the entire body of the caddy with the palm of your hand day after day, brings out a change within a few days to a few weeks of first use; as time passes, the color tone shifts and brings out an elegant rich sheen. This Tea Caddy - Copper is a chabitsu (a covered container used to store a set of tea utensils) designed for a Torikomi-bon (tray). Tea caddies for Torikomi-bon are slightly smaller in size, crafted to fit neatly inside this chabitsu.

Walking through Second Nature presents a bit of a paradox. From solidified light and dissolving landscapes to imagery that changes with real-time weather data, there is evidence of technological intervention in the art all around.(Excerpt from the text)
