The monsoons have arrived in the city, and let’s admit it — everything is a mess. From everyday red alerts to weak wifi signals, there’s very less one can do to take a break. However, a new installation at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) called the Infinity Mirrored Room by Yayoi Kusama is something that you can check out this weekend.
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is a master of her craft, and this installation is one crazy example of her fantastic craftwork. The Infinity Mirrored Room ― The Eternally Infinite Light of the Universe Illuminating the Quest for Truth 2020 is part of the ‘Infinity Mirrored Rooms’ series that was started by her in 1965. Yayoi Kusama‘s Infinity Mirrored Room is one of the largest installations created by artists and is pretty famous around the world, and the Ambanis have finally brought it to India as well. Here’s what you can expect inside the infinity mirrored room.
