Filled with the Brilliance of Life
Crazy Tuesday theme Light
Just by pure chance I was at the Yayoi Kusama Exhibition at the Tate Modern in London last Thursday; and with my camera! However, you only get to spend 2 minutes in each of the rooms with other people so it's quite difficult to adjust to the conditions in each of the rooms in order to get any descent images. This one was one of the better ones (...and yes that is me ...and no I wasn't trying to focus on me - which is just as well because Iβm out of focus π).
This is "Infinity Mirrored Room - Filled with the Brilliance of Life". It is one of Kusama's largest installations to date and was made for her 2012 retrospactive at the Tate Modern. In this installation Kusama is trying to replicate her experiences of anxiety and mental health that are profound to her. The installation is dependent on LED lights connected via a circuitry that creates an infinately changing sequence of lights, with mirrors and water producing an infinite, never ending, boudless experience of colour and light. It creates this strange shimmering feeling that induces a vague sense of anxiety, one which Kusama is trying to provoke.
If you get a chance, the exhibition is well worth a visit.
I have read the theme rules and I really hope this fits in with them.
Happy Crazy Tuesday and a very merry Christmas! β¨πβ¨
