Yayoi Kusama
Stunning Exhibitions at Miro
The first time I saw Yayoi Kusama’s art it didn’t have her name. The reason for this was because I had first seen photos a Facebook friend had posted, except he had forgotten or hadn’t wished to include where, who, and how he had taken such beautiful photographs. I was so desperate to know I reverse-image searched it in Google’s search engine in order to find it. It took some time, but in the end I found her, and where she was being exhibited in London.
Other pages I had liked on Facebook slowly started to post photos of her work themselves, further instilling her and her iconic art style into my mind. I wouldn’t actually go to see the exhibition until a week before it closed, and only after I had acquired a friend who was both interested, and free.
Later, my other friends would question why I didn’t invite them. I did. (I think.) The queue to get in was absolutely worth it, even if you only got seconds of time in the mirror rooms themselves. There were three, one with a chandelier, another with pumpkins, and a third that used darkness and pinholes of light to create a tiny universe of stars. I’m quite proud of the photos I took of her artwork. For those of you who haven’t heard of her, or seen her art, enjoy. She’s gone from London now, and I believe her art is touring around North America for the near future, but I’m sure she’ll be back. (Finger’s crossed!)
