This video shows what it is like to experience one of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms located in Los Angeles.

The Japanese contemporary artist is regarded as one of the most important living artists from Japan.

She was raised in Matsumoto, and trained at the Kyoto City University of Arts in a traditional Japanese painting style called nihonga before moving to New York City in 1958.

She was born in 1929 and was a part of the New York avant-garde scene throughout the 1960s, especially in the pop-art movement, embracing the rise of the hippie counterculture of the late 1960s.

Her Infinity Mirrored Room includes mirrored spheres suspended from the ceiling arranged on the floor, with a mirrored column inside the room giving the impression of an infinite field of silver.

It is so popular that visitors need to book a time, with this video shot by visitor Jolene Jordaan, from Laguna Beach, California, who shared it with Newsflash.

The Marketing Professional told Newsflash it was a unique experience, adding: “Before I entered the mirror room, I knew I had to catch that overcoming feeling of what it would be like to walk into art. I had seen incredible creative social media posts from the users perspective. I thought we could stay as long as we want and walk through it.

“We walked up to a closed door with grey walls. Once she opened the doors into the Infinity Mirror Room, I immediately felt the art by Yayoi Kusama. They closed the doors behind us and it was dead silence. We were floating in another galaxy with all our senses over stimulated and yet the silence was deafening. You are alone with your thoughts…. and it hits you, artwork, the mind of the creator, can physically move you.

“The tickets are free. You have to choose the ‘infinity room’ ticket or you won’t be able to get in. You can go in the room by yourself or with friends. They only allow 1 minute to keep everyone moving and time in the room. I suggest grabbing a couple for the day if you want to do it again. The wait time with a ticket was 10 minutes.”

Jolene said there have been lots of comments and questions, including one person who asked if one could go alone and she had decided to go with her parents.

She said: “My mom is claustrophobic and was nervous about what to expect. Once in there it’s really open, you can exit easily at any time and you want to stay longer than one minute.”

Asked if there was any music, she added: “No. It’s dead silent. A silence you don’t hear anymore. If you go in alone and sit still, i can only guess where your imagination will take you.”
