Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama's "Fireflies on the Water" is a 3D work surrounded by mirrors that creates a holistic spatial experience for the viewer. It was recently added to the museum's collection this year. Upon opening the unassuming, warehouse-like door to the work, one is greeted by a profusion of countless decorative lights sparkling in the dark and dazzling the senses. Following the path that extends up until one's feet and entering the room, the some 150 lights hanging overheard are reflected in the mirrored surfaces of the walls and ceiling, as well as water surfaces that tremble underfoot, seeming to multiply endlessly in both a real and an imaginary space. "Fireflies on the Water" has been installed in 3 versions and is only on view at the Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art.
