The "Asymmetric Universe" space within the "Light Sculpture - Flow" zone at Mori Building Digital Art Museum: Epson teamLab Borderless in Azabudai Hills, Tokyo will reopen on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
To celebrate the reopening, a special exhibition titled "On the Asymmetry of the Universe" will be held. The exhibition features two new series: "Asymmetric Existence" and "Chromatic Existence." The exhibition runs from Wednesday, July 8, 2026 through Thursday, October 8, 2026.
Two New Series
Asymmetric Existence
Asymmetric Existence is a single sculpture composed of a light sculpture that appears only in real space and is invisible in mirrors, and a light sculpture that appears only inside mirrors and does not exist in real space.
Normally, a mirror reflects real space symmetrically. Here, however, the real space and mirror space are not in a symmetrical relationship. The two light sculptures appear asymmetrically in different spaces, yet rise as a single sculptural presence within the viewer's perception.
The mirror surface is not merely a boundary that reflects real space symmetrically, but becomes a place that connects the presences appearing in real space and mirror space. Asymmetric Existence is an attempt to expand sculpture from an object confined to real space into an existence that crosses real and mirror space and is integrated within perception.
Chromatic Existence
When red, green, and blue colors flow through a space and the colors themselves form an order, a chromatic sculpture emerges.
The sculpture here is not a material object, but a spatial existence created by the order of color, with no material boundary.
About Light Sculpture - Flow
"The inside and outside of a whirlpool in the sea are the same water. There is no material difference. And yet, why does the whirlpool feel like it has existence? And we even sense life in it."
The interior and exterior of that existence are not differentiated by material, but by order. This becomes a different way of existing from conventional material existence.
Even if the constituent elements of the work are separated in time and space, when order forms in a part, that part becomes a single existence in which the constituent elements transcend time and space.
A sculpture created by the order formed by a collection of light flowing continuously from outside to inside, and from inside to outside.
Mori Building Digital Art Museum: Epson teamLab Borderless
teamLab Borderless is a "museum without a map" featuring a borderless world of art by the art collective teamLab. The art moves out of rooms, interacts with other works, influences and is influenced by them, with no boundaries between artworks — sometimes blending together. teamLab Borderless is one seamless, borderless world made up of such works. Visitors immerse themselves in borderless art body and soul, wandering, exploring, and discovering within one continuously connected world without boundaries.
