Yayoi Kusama at Tate Modern...

Although maybe a typical section of the exhibition to say had an impact on me, Kusama’s ‘Infinity Mirrored Room- Filled with the Brilliance of Life’, I thought was fantastic. Out of everything in that particular exhibition I found myself thinking about my own work the most in this room. Her interest in infinite space made by using reflective surfaces, light and general trickery leads to you being utterly engaged with experiencing the space. Personally I think the room moves the viewer to feel as though they are in a complete different environment/space to what they are actually in – I certainly wasn’t thinking about the fact that this was a piece of art, in the Tate; all I was thinking was about the enjoyment of the experience, at the expense of suspending me own sense of self. This creation of an environment with light, is similar to what I was saying about the difference between being in a space quite literally and looking at is as a photograph – it is the actual experience that matters.
