When I was at the Mattress Factory for Professional Development last Tuesday, a colleague and I slipped into this room, part of the permanent exhibition.
And the name of the room is perfect for the challenge... Infinity Dots Mirrored Room. (click to see the museum’s photo of the installation)
The black light gives you a strange sensation when you’re in there. You can lose your equilibrium.
It’s really cool. You should come to Pittsburgh and experience this mirrored, polka dotted space. The going into the actual room as compared to viewing an iPhone snap of it, is quite different. The limitations of technology.
The artist- YAYOI KUSAMA created the installation.
You can watch the short documentary about her and her artwork below.
I’ve been in that room. Its crazy. We love the Mattress Factory.
Fabulous choice Ruth!
Thanks Lorraine. You would have enjoyed being in it , too.

wow, what a fascinating story. thanks for sharing!
That’s quite a room, Ruth! I get disoriented pretty easily and I’d be hugging the person nearest to me about 60 seconds after entering the installation. I’d better choose my viewing partners carefully. 🙂 Great shot and video, Ruth. A fascinating woman.
