Yayoi Kusama “Ladder to Heaven and Souls”
Robert Miller Gallery
This event has ended.
Installed in a darkened gallery are Yayoi Kusama’s Ladder to Heaven and Souls burst in the air – B. Both works elaborate on themes of mirroring, infinity, reflection, and repetition, which have all been central to the artist’s work since the 1960s. Ladder to Heaven comprises a steel ladder entwined with fiber optic cable and two large circular mirrors—one above and below the ladder. The effect is that of a glowing endless path with which the viewer is encountering only one small section. Souls burst in the air is dynamic composition of nine floating spheres of varying sizes connected by a twisting, undulating course of white steel tubing that challenges the viewer’s sense of space in a manner similar to Kusama’s other installations, but experienced here in the round.
