Infinity Mirror Rooms by Yayoi Kusama
One of Kusama's most extraordinary artworks is the "Infinity Mirror Rooms", it was created for her Tate Modern exhibition in 2012. It is displayed next to the "Chandelier of Grief", a space filled with revolving crystal chandeliers that give the impression of an infinite universe.
Infinity Mirror Rooms: The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, has a captivating visual beauty appeal to it. The story behind it is quite intriguing, the mirrors are intended to inspire a feeling of "self-obliteration". And, every light bulb is meant to symbolize a human spirit from millions of light years distant. Infinity mirror rooms are designed to leave you thinking about existence and mortality.
It is a fleeting sensation that encourages visitors to step back from everyday life and consider what they might have overlooked in their lives.
Kusama has an original and unique perspective on art. Her exhibits are absolutely captivating and mesmerizing to me and seem to transport you to another universe.
