The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents its annual Summer Immersive, "Floating World: A.A.Murakami," a project by Tokyo- and London-based artist duo A.A.Murakami. Melding science, art and nature to create unique environments, a series of four sensory landscapes will unfold across the galleries of the MFAH, immersing visitors in environments of light, fog, plasma and sound.

Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves, the artists behind A.A.Murakami, have said "the inspiration for the Floating World installation comes from the tradition of auspicious clouds in Asian art, which holda dynamic sense of movement - coiling and uncoiling in a perpetual state of formation and dissolution, symbolic of the constant flux of existence, embodying the endless process of unfurling that reflects the transient nature of life and the bridge between the earthly world and the heavenly realm."

In their presentation for Houston, the duo brings together four distinct immersive spaces. Custom-designed for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the exhibition is their largest to date.

]The exhibition will remain on display through September 21.
