The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama presented her show Mirror Rooms at Tate Modern in London, United Kingdom in the new wing of the gallery.
In her especially designed mirror rooms you could nearly loose yourself and since my review of her little mirror room in Heli Onstadt Museum in Oslo her installations have grown in the setting of Tate Modern Gallery on Bankside in the former power plant.
Upon entering the space, you were welcomed by giant squids in the so called Turbine Hall in this building, formerly used to produce electricity.
In this sense the artist presenting the squids that floated up and down the enourmous entrance hall dragged us towards Kusama’s presentation in the upstairs galleries in the newly created wing of the adjacent building, added a few years ago for solo displays.
Kusamas’ works as always kept their promise of a mesmerizing experience, making us understand how her own psychological state, viewing dots everywhere feels like in the sligthest.
Even though we can not grasp, how it must be to constantly be surrounded by dots, never being confronted by the white sheet you might scream for after a while, we still are grateful that she shares her obsession and visual craze in such a poetic manner making us feel part of her world.
Here a small video to allow the experience to be shared here on my Art Consultancy website
Looking forward to your reactions please leave them in the comments!
With special thanks to Tate Modern for the press access and permission to photograph and film.
