The seasons co-exist and change gradually across the installation space.
Flowers blossom according to the seasons, and the places where they grow gradually change.

The flowers bud, grow, and blossom before they begin to wither and their petals eventually scatter, repeating the cycle of life and death in perpetuity. If a person stays still, the flowers surrounding them grow and bloom more abundantly than usual, but if people touch or step on the flowers, they shed their petals, wither, and die all at once. Sometimes the flowers cross the boundaries of other works and bloom in other spaces, but scatter or die due to the influence of other works.

The artwork is not a pre-recorded image that is played back; it is created by a computer program that continuously renders the work in real time. The interaction between people and the installation causes continuous change in the artwork, so previous visual states can never be replicated, and will never reoccur. The picture at this moment can never be seen again.

In spring in the Kunisaki Peninsula, there are many cherry blossoms in the mountains and canola blossoms at their base. A visit to this region led teamLab to wonder how much of these flowers were planted by people and how much of them were native to the environment. It was a place of great serenity and contentment. The expansive body of flowers is an ecosystem influenced by human intervention, and the boundary between the work of nature and the work of humans is unclear. Rather than nature and humans being in conflict, a healthy ecosystem is one that includes people. In the past, people understood that they could not grasp nature in its entirety, and that it is not possible to control nature. People lived more closely aligned to the rule of nature, which perhaps created a comfortable natural environment. We believe that these valleys hold faint traces of this premodern relationship with nature that once existed, and we hope to explore a form of human intervention based on the premise that nature cannot be controlled.

굴리면 색과 소리가 변하는 라이트 볼로 연주하는 오케스트라입니다.
위에 있는 볼은 다른 공과 연동되어 있어, 만지면 주위에 있는 볼에게도 영향을 주어 공간 전체의 색이 변화합니다. 밑에 있는 볼을 굴리면 색이 변하고 소리가 납니다. 사람들은 몸을 움직이며 크고 작은 볼을 만지고 굴리면서, 함께 공간의 색을 바꿔가며 자유롭게 음악을 연주합니다.

상형문자를 만지면 그 글자가 가진 세계가 나타나 이야기를 시작합니다.
벽에 비춰진 상형문자(산, 나무, 새 등)를 만지면 그 글자가 가진 세계가 나타나고 새로운 이야기가 탄생합니다. 다른 체험자들이 불러낸 세계와 서로 영향을 주고받으며 이야기를 만들어 갑니다. 예를 들어 나무에는 새가 앉고, 양이 개의 존재를 눈치채면 깜짝 놀라 도망갑니다. 동물은 만질 수도 있습니다. 양에게 다가가면 춤을 추고, 말에게 다가가면 도망갑니다.
