Step Into teamLab Phenomena in Abu Dhabi

Set to open its doors in April.

Exhibitions

teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is set to open its door to the public within the city’s Saadiyat Cultural District.

Spanning 17,000 square meters of space, the new museum explores the artworks as phenomena that stem from their environments. Every installation is thoughtfully conceptualized to invite and immerse visitors in the artworks’ collective existence, thus allowing them to assimilate with the surroundings.

Underscoring the interconnectedness of existence and the environment, the concept of “environmental phenomena” also suggests that existence is not tied to matter, but rather to elements like air, water and light transformed by their surroundings. As long as the environment is maintained, the artworks will continue to exist even if physically disrupted.

Guests will find themselves enveloped in a scarlet hue in “Levitation Void,” where a large spherical object levitates mostly in mid-air. In “Massless Suns and Dark Suns,” the space is bathed in countless light spheres that glimmer upon contact with neighboring spheres or human touch.

The space opens on April 18 for every day of the year from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Preview some of the works above or via the video below. For more information, visit teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi’s official website.
