Thousands of illuminated colors flashing at lightning speed
Immersive
installations in which visitors must surrender to the sensation of
being in a boundless space made only of lights, images and sounds
that repeat endlessly, while everything else is put on hold.
This
is what you experience in the Infinity
Mirrored Rooms of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, whose exhibitions have become
mass phenomena, precisely because of the uniqueness of the experience
they manage to give.
An example of this experience? From a
walkway surrounded by water, you enter a dark room, completely
covered with mirrors. From above hang hundreds of small LED lights of
different colors, which turn on and off, illuminating the darkness at
times. Inside this magical circumscribed environment, called Filled
with the Brilliance of Life, any image is infinitely reflected.
“The
psychedelic images of lights make the world a kind of kaleidoscope,
reflecting the light at the base of all things and drawing anyone who
enters the room into the world of infinity,” Yayoi Kusama
recounts.
Another room/installation is the Chandelier of
Grief, in which the artist manages to give the illusion of being in a
universe in which crystal chandeliers rotate.
Yayoi
Kusama is recognized as an avant-garde and eclectic artist, it seems
that there is nothing she can’t do: installations, painting,
sculpture, fashion design, literary writing.
Her
installations are appreciated all over the world and tickets for her
exhibitions sell like hot cakes.
