Got a Light?

This past weekend, my friends and I visited a few art galleries in Chelsea. We saw a lot of amazing artwork. The Gagosian Gallery consisted of a few paintings and a back room done by the artist, Yayoi Kusama. In this back room was a long line of people (all unaware of what they were actually about to see and not seeming to care) waiting enter this room within the room. Our curiosity led us to do the same. I cannot actually describe what we were about to see. We finally reached the front and entered as the door closed behind us. It was dark inside however there were many small lights that appeared to be suspended in mid air. The best part about it?...MIRRORS. All four walls were mirrored creating the illusion of infinite lights. It was absolutely breathtaking. I took a video which I was not supposed to do, although it does not do it justice, you can get the idea.

  1. I loved this! But did you notice that when everyone in line in front of us left the box they didn't seem thrilled? I guess those Chelsea kids have seen it all.
