OSAKA — A 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo pavilion’s light installation was unveiled to the media in Osaka on Tuesday.
The pavilion, Dynamic Equilibrium of Life, was produced by biologist Shinichi Fukuoka. The expo will open in April.
Exhibited in the pavilion, the installation features 320,000 LED lights attached to a 2.5-meter cylinder-shaped screen measuring 10 meters in diameter. Light flickers depict cell divisions and animal diversity. The display aims to make people think about what life is.
