Mirrors Is a versatile element of a modern interior. In cramped living conditions, they can visually enlarge the space of small apartments and offices. And the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, using mirrors, literally created endless room.
Yayoi Kusama is familiar to regular readers of the site Kulturologia. Ru thanks to his experiments with the visual component of living spaces. With the help of multi-colored dots and other small elements, it enlarges, bends, stretches rooms. Now Kusama decided to experiment with mirrors.
The result was a very unusual installation called Infinity Mirror Room. Indeed, in a room, all walls of which from floor to ceiling, from corner to corner are turned into mirrors, it will really seem as if the space around has no boundaries. Especially if you set in it landmarks for visual snapping.
These are the landmarks in the Infinity Mirror Room installation and the multi-colored LEDs have become. In the absence of overhead lighting, these LEDs create an amazing atmosphere in the room. A person who gets there seems to be in a magical world inhabited by millions of lights that change color and position. Moreover, this picture absolutely changes, it is only necessary for a person to slightly change his position in space or the angle of view, and the color of the LED.
82-year-old Yayoi Kusama is also known for the fact that she voluntarily lived in a psychiatric hospital for forty years (albeit with the right to leave at any time) in order to thoroughly get to know mentally ill people, their way of thinking, to see the world through their eyes. She uses this invaluable experience in her work. Including in the installation Infinity Mirror Room, “populated”, according to Kusama, “living diamonds”.
