Yayoi Kusama’s mirrored rooms create the impression of endless space using surprisingly limited ingredients: mirrors, light and repetition. Dancing Lights That Flew Up to the Universe is currently part of Guggenheim Pop: 1960 to Now. What stays with me is the contradiction. Infinity is experienced inside a carefully bounded room. Perhaps scale has less to do with physical size than with what an image convinces the mind to continue.
