teamLab Borderless' mesmerising installations move to Tokyo's Azabudai Hills
Visitors are invited to ‘wander, explore, and discover’ amidst interactive artworks
The Azabudai Hills in Tokyo had its official opening at the end of last year. This development was a collaboration between the London architecture firm Heatherwick Studio and the American architecture firm, Pelli Clarke & Partners. The vision for this area is to embody the concept of a "modern urban village".
The teamLab Borderless: Mori Building Digital Art Museum has also recently announced its relocation from Odaiba to Azabudai Hills, opening its doors earlier this month.
Integrating the idea of “wander, explore, discover in one borderless world”, teamLab gathered a group of interactive artworks including the ‘Light Sculpture - Flow’ series and the installation piece ‘Microcosmoses - Wobbling Light’ to create an immersive borderless world and a museum without a map.
The ‘Light Sculpture – Flow’ series features large sculptures with cascading light that gently surrounds people, seamlessly moving between the real world and a mirrored realm in the Asymmetric Universe space.

Meanwhile, the ‘Microcosmoses – Wobbling Light’ exhibition features mesmerising lights moving through an expansive space, emitting various colours that reflect off surfaces.

“Artworks move out of rooms, communicate with other works, influence, and sometimes intermingle with each other with no boundaries, forming one borderless world. As people immerse their body in this borderless art, they ‘wander, explore, and discover’,” they mentioned in an Instagram post.
teamLab Borderless is now open at The Azabudai Hills, learn more about it here.
