The pool of water creates an incredible sense of stillness and the mirrors reflect never-ending images of themselves, creating a sidereal ambience. Space appears infinite, without top or bottom, beginning or end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs in Yayoi Kusama’s early installations, including her \u003cem\u003eInfinity Mirror Room\u003c\/em\u003e (1965), \u003cem\u003eFireflies on the Water\u003c\/em\u003e embodies an almost hallucinatory approach to reality. Although linked to the artist's personal mythology and the process of therapeutic work, this work also references sources as diverse as the myth of Narcissus and Kusama’s native Japanese landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46835365314796,"sku":"9788857251424","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/17109853485341.jpg?v=1758545672","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/yayoi-kusama-infinite-present-9788857251424","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
