When I think about “Polka Dots”, the first thought
is Kusama, the old strange lady. At the moment Kasama has an exhibition in Tate
modern London; which I went to see. Yayoi kusama is a Japanese artist. She was
born in 1929, so this exhibition is like a reflection on her life’s work.
This exhibition has 14 rooms, and presents all of her
work form 1950s.
"INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - FILLED WITH THE BRILLIANCE OF LIFE"
A depiction of Kusama’s obsession with infinite space.
Her mirrored installation creates an environment that the viewer can explore
surrounded by their own reflection. This particular room in the largest
installation of this type she has made to date. Being in the room gives the
feeling of infinity and the sensation on being suspended ‘in a sense
of self and accompanying Kasuma on her long on
going journey of self-obliteration’
"I’M HERE, BUT NOTHING"
Room 12 was showing darned domestic interior featuring
everyday furniture and accessories, such as a table, chair, and TV, but the
whole room gave you a surreal and mysterious feeling. Lots of fluorescent
sticker spots covered all of the room under a dim light.
This room gave me such a special feeling, when entering
this room my white shirt and my light blue bag begin to shine. It felt like I
became part of her work, it was so fantastic!
