Her large-scale environments, such as Infinity Mirrored Room, combine this hallucinatory motif with an ongoing concern with perspective, space and optical experience. Early in her career, she began covering different surfaces – including walls, floors, canvases, objects, animals and people – with polka dots, which became a trademark of her work. Forms from these hallucinations became the basis of her visual vocabulary. From childhood Kusama suffered from anxiety and hallucinatory episodes, often in the form of nets or spots multiplying to dominate her field of vision. Her work, executed across a range of media, is characterised by its investigation of pattern, repetition and accumulation. Kusama has been fascinated with ideas of endlessness in space and vision throughout her career. Kusama has underlined the importance of the role the viewer plays in her rooms and how he or she continually experiences the work in a new way: ‘One is more aware than before that he himself is establishing relationships as he apprehends the object from various positions and under varying conditions of light and spatial context … For it is the viewer who changes the shape constantly by his change in position relative to the work’ (quoted in Applin 2012, p.37). Although these early works presented a more sexually oriented language, the way in which the viewer became part of the phenomenological environment, experiencing endlessly multiplied forms, is comparable to the much later Infinity Mirrored Room. Kusama first used mirrors in the mid-1960s in her large-scale installations Infinity Mirror Room – Phalli’s Field 1965 and Kusama’s Peep Show – Endless Love Show 1966.

As the second part of the work’s title suggests, it seeks to visualise life as a ‘brilliant’ experience. It was the largest mirror installation she had made up to that date. The work was made specifically for the artist’s retrospective exhibition Yayoi Kusama held at Reina Sofia, Madrid, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Tate Modern, London, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, in 20. The pinpricks of light in the otherwise darkened room appear to reflect endlessly in the mirrors and the water, giving the viewer the experience of being in a seemingly endless space. Hanging from the ceiling are hundreds of small, round LED lights that flash on and off in different colour configurations on a timed programme. The walls and ceiling of the room are also mirrored, and the floor surrounding the walkway is covered with a shallow pool of water. Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life 2011 is a room through which visitors pass on a walkway made of mirrored tiles.
