Yayoi Kusama

 The Obliteration Room by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama started out as a stark, all white room. Everything was white. From the walls and ceiling to the furniture and fixtures. The gallery space was then visited by children who were given stickers and told to stick them anywhere they like.



This then resulted in the room being absolutely covered in stickers, all in a range of colours.

I like the interactive nature of the installation as well as the whole room becoming quite an optical spectacle. I quite like the repetition and continuity of quite a repetitive process- and as mentioned before, the amount of time put into the installation is a reflection of the visual impact it has on the audience.

I feel as though something similar to this could be carried out by our group, but perhaps in relation to the number 175.

I feel as though deconstruction could play a key part in this too. The material that has been deconstructed could be displayed in a similar way to this particular piece.
