New Art Experiences Open at teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi

The transition into the space is deliberate. From the glare of daylight reflecting off the building’s white exterior, visitors step into a subdued, shadowed entrance where vision slowly recalibrates. That brief moment of adjustment sets the tone – this is not an exhibition you simply look at, but one that asks you to slow down and become aware of your surroundings.

'Megaliths in the Roots Garden' unfolds across levels and textures. Shoes are left behind as visitors move through a dark, mist-filled environment where colour appears softly rather than boldly. Below, newly revealed spaces open up to exposed tree roots suspended in mid-air, hovering above clusters of stone-like forms. The contrast between fragility and weight gives the work a quiet intensity, encouraging careful movement and close attention.

The atmosphere shifts again with 'Massless Suns and Dark Suns'. Entered through a low, dim passage, the intimate room hosts only a handful of people at a time. Floating orbs of light pulse and drift, reacting subtly to motion and proximity. The result is never fixed – each encounter is shaped by who is present and how they move, making the artwork feel personal, fleeting and impossible to replicate.
