“Infinity Mirror Room,” created by Yayoi Kusama in 1965, belongs to the Conceptual Art and Feminist Art movements. This installation artwork exemplifies Kusama’s distinctive style through the extensive use of mirrors and repetitive motifs, specifically polka dots.
The artwork, titled “Infinity Mirror Room,” features an expansive environment filled with mirrors that reflect endlessly, creating a boundless visual experience. At the center, the artwork is adorned with countless soft, phallic-shaped forms covered in polka dots, extending indefinitely due to the reflective nature of the mirrors. A figure, clad in a red outfit, is lying amongst these forms, blending seamlessly with the intricate and immersive surroundings. This piece explores themes of infinity, self-obliteration, and obsessive repetition, hallmarking Kusama’s conceptual and feminist narratives.
