Victoria Miro presents Where the Lights in My Heart Go by Yayoi Kusama, a work of dazzling complexity conjured solely by ambient light.

Throughout her career, Yayoi Kusama has developed a unique and diverse body of work that, highly personal in nature, connects profoundly with global audiences. Central to Kusama’s practice are the artist's acclaimed Infinity Mirror Rooms – immersive environments which create the illusion of infinite space. 

Where the Lights in My Heart Go is the first Infinity Mirror Room by Kusama to rely solely on ambient light to create an experience of entering an expansive cosmos. It is a work of two distinct characters. While its mirrored exterior both reflects and appears to merge with its surroundings, punctured with small holes it becomes, on the inside, a fathomless space filled by dots of light.

The artist has referred to the effect the work produces as being akin to a ‘subtle planetarium’ – a space in which to ponder the mysteries of the physical and metaphysical universe.
