Massless Suns and Dark Spheres

teamLab, 2022, Interactive Digital Installation, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi

Countless spheres of light and spheres of darkness.

Each sphere of light can be clearly perceived in the space as a mass seemingly made of solidified light, however, there is no material surface boundary. The perception of the boundary between the artwork and your body is ambiguous.

When you broaden your vision, purple-blue spheres made of darkness also begin to appear, as though darkness has been solidified.


If you try to touch a sphere of light, the sphere shines brightly and the surrounding spheres respond one after the other.

Light does not solidify, and masses made entirely of light do not exist in the universe. In other words, these spheres of light only exist in your perception.

The work cannot exist on its own - its existence is a phenomenon created by its environment.The work questions the notion of existence and what it means.
