Infinity mirrors

1. Infinity Mirrors
Yayoi Kusama

2. Phalli's field
This is the name to the first room you walk into at the infinity mirrors exhibit. Right
from the first room it is notable the artist has a strong liking for polka dots! The
room is mostly white, with tiny sculptures coming up from the ground. These
sculptures have lots of bright red dots. This is meant to replicate the hallucinations
of a phallic surfaces. She was originally going to make a bunch of these sculptures
but decided it was a lot of work and found mirrors to be a better alternative.

4. Love Forever
The second “room” is not actually a room. This is a small hexagonal in shape
tunnel, with mirrors on the sides to continue with the infinity effect. Only 2
participants can look through the ends at onc. When you look in its mostly black
with small neon lights that change color.

6. The Souls Of Millions Of Lightyears Away
Walking into the third room of the exhibit, it's like being immersed in a different
world. It's truly an out of body experience. This space was meant for visitors to be
able to reflect in.

8. Dots Obsession
The artists love for polka dots comes through yet again. This time it is purely about
her love for polka dots. Still full of mirrors, but this time big pink balls of polka are
in front of you obstructing the view from going very far. There is still no end, pulling
out the infinity aspect again.

10. Aftermath Of Obliteration Of Eternity
I personally think the placement in the order of the rooms was weird on this one.
To the artist, this room reflected death and the possibility of an afterlife. It's a very
dark room with small flickering lights going off into the void. Its reminds me of the
japanese tradition of the candle lanterns.

12. All The Eternal Love I Have For Pumpkins
Another weird placement. Seems like this is a very fun room coming right after a
seemingly intense room. The artist shows her love for pumpkins through the
sculptures and title but the pumpkins are yellow not orange. I think this is because
yellow is a generally happy color and that made this room a very fun and exciting
room to be in. She pulls her love for dots as well in the black dots on the
sculptures.
