Butterflies Falling: Death is Returning to the Flow of this World
teamLab, 2024, Interactive Digital Installation, Endless, Sound: Hideaki Takahashi
The artwork begins when Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders enters the Dissolving Light space. It ends when, Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders leaves.
The butterflies are born at one with the space, then scatter and dissolve into the world.
Multiple layers of images and lines reach out towards you and the lines also extend to the far side. As a result, the artwork is drawn into the space itself, giving it a three-dimensional presence.
There is a continuity between the artwork and the world, and the boundary between the artwork and the viewer’s body is ambiguous.
