TEAMLAB TURNS AN EMPTY LOT INTO A FANTASY FIELD (BUT ONLY IF IT'S SUNNY)”

by Javier Borrego

Wow, teamLab has managed to turn a demolished urban lot into a “lush meadow” and they call it art! Now, instead of being surrounded by concrete and rubble, you can stroll through the “rain” and “wind”... all, of course, within a carefully controlled setting. And if you're lucky and it's midday, you can climb a mini-staircase and admire a rainbow circle (that is, only if the weather cooperates, because art, it seems, also needs permission from the sun).

The exhibition, entitled *Field of Wind, Rain and Sun*, is the new jewel in the crown of teamLab, which has worked magic with rice terraces before. This time, the mission was to turn a factory space into something more “zen.” And they succeeded! Now it's the perfect place to have a coffee, as long as you book in advance, because we already know that “serenity” has a limited capacity. 

The best thing is that, according to them, the works are not permanent; they depend on their surroundings. So, in short: go and enjoy the show before some whim of the weather or a skyscraper ruins it all. Pure urban poetry!)”
