Yayoi Kusama’s Where the Lights in My Heart Go goes on view at Aspen Art Museum

On view 20 December 2019–10 May 2020, Where the Lights in My Heart Go, 2016, creates the illusion of a continuously expanding universe, toying with our sense of visual perception.

 

Where the Lights in My Heart Go, 2016, is a ten-by-ten-foot polished stainless-steel room with a mirrored interior. Small holes in the walls and ceiling allow natural light to penetrate the darkened room. Multiplied by the reflective mirrored surfaces, these pinholes of light create an immersive kaleidoscopic experience inside the room.
