Yayoi Kusama created the 1965 art installation "Infinity Mirror Room - Phalli's Field" which features soft sculptural forms painted with red dot sequences arranged around a viewing platform and surrounded by mirrors that create infinite reflections. Visitors become participants as they are reflected in the mirrored space, experiencing Kusama's dream of bringing to life through art the feeling of entering a room with an endless number of oneself. The mirrored room uses kaleidoscopic effects to give the illusion of a vast, infinite space and has inspired many modern artists as well as immersive installation art.

Have you ever wished you could step into a room filled with an endless number of yourself?

What if you
walked into a room with an infinite number of yourself with art all around you? You will undoubtedly be
astonished by its beauty as Yayoi Kusama invented the Contemporary Art Masterpieces: ‘Infinity Mirror
Room – Phalli’s Field.

You want to know more what's inside the Infinity Mirror Room? Let's explore more deeper!

Yayoi Kusama is an incredible artist who often incorporates dots, mirrors, and pumpkins into her work.
In 1965, Kusama created the art installation "Infinity Mirror Room." As we enter the Infinity Mirror
Room, an endless sea of red dots and organic forms greets us. These forms are phallic like objects which
protrude from the floor and appear to interweave each other like garden worms. They're a group of soft
sculptural forms that have been painted with red dot sequences. The works are arranged around a small
viewing platform in one of the room's corners. In her artwork, she used the contemporary art element
and principle of space. This space is surrounded by mirrors that reflect and repeat the shapes, creating a
fascinating optical illusion. Kusama saw the room as the realization of a "long-cherished dream" that she
could bring to life through her art. “Like Alice, who went through the looking-glass, I, Kusama (who have
lived for years in my popular, specially-built room entirely covered in mirrors) have opened up a world of
fantasy and freedom,” she later wrote. The work is part of a collection of ‘Infinity Mirror Room'
installations that Yayoi has created during his career. They're ground-breaking, interactive installations
that use kaleidoscopic environments to create the illusion of vast, infinite room. Visitors become active
participants by being reflected in the work. Yayoi's "Infinity Mirror Rooms" have inspired many modern
artists as well as a contemporary art movement of immersive installations. Her signature dots are used
as motifs to respond to hallucinations Yayoi first encountered as a child, and they are obsessively
replicated throughout the work. Yayoi voluntarily checked into a psychiatric facility in 1977 and has lived
and worked from the same location ever since. Our life experiences will therefore help us in becoming
imaginative and creative. Taking the time to release inhibitions and enjoy experimentation can foster
the creative spirit and take the mind and body to new and exciting places. By opening yourself up to
different avenues and experiences, you’ll make room for greater balance and fulfillment in your
personal and work ventures.
