“Kissing has never been about the physical to me, it’s always been about the emotional. The connection made between two people as they lose their thoughts in the midst of passion, remembering only their primal desire for this person; it’s just so beautiful. In those moments when two people blend their lips together, they are vulnerable and they are free. For maybe mere seconds the rest of the world doesn’t exist to these two people. Kissing is so much more than just a physical act; it’s heat and passion, love and lust, chaos and security. It’s magic in it’s most innocent form.”
“People like you and me are quite lonely really but we still have each other, we have the secret satisfaction of being different, of rebelling, of desiring the unusual.”
“I think you know you’ve found someone special when you meet them for the first time, and it feels like you’re just picking up where you left off. You kind of look at them and think
‘Where the hell did you come from? Where the hell have you been?’”
“Infinity Mirrored Room” is a room completely covered in
mirrors and decorated with a LED light display which creates a never ending
universe feel in the room. The artist
only Allows one person in at a time for a minute only.
“Ultimately, it was in installation where Kusama found a way
to best express the impact of her interior mind on her external environment.
“As I was painting, absorbed,” Kusama told Index magazine in
1998,” I realized that the new was spilling over the desk….I was painting on
the floor. And then, one day, when I woke up, I found a red net covering a
window….The entire room was covered with red net.” Kusama’s nets became
inhabitable environments. Infinity Mirrored Room—The
Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, 2013, is just such an
inhabitable Kusama world. A room is completely covered with mirrors and dozens
of LED lights hang from the ceiling. As the multitude of lights reflect, they
accumulate and expand exponentially. This sense of infinity has been with
Kusama from the beginning, always looking for clearer ways to express itself.
Inside Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions
of Light Years Away, Kusama’s world is the viewer’s world.”
I like the idea that the mirror to this artist is a way for
her to bring out her interior. Usually mirrors are representations of vanity
and superficial appearances and it’s just to see a change in that!
ich finde mich selbst
nur ganz selten
und immer aus zufall
manchmal höre
ich mich kommen
aber dann bin ich
schon wieder woanders
ich bin nicht gemacht
für die realität
ich spaziere durch die erinnerung
und lebe im traum
