In terms of the way of participation, exhibition space can be said to be an excellent use of color change carriers. If people have an experience in a disorientation of colour space or huge installation, a close participatory relationship will be built and influence audiences’ feeling and emotion. In the meantime, viewers are led to come into the conceptual world that the artist wants to express. For instance, in Yayoi Kusama’s art works, there is a huge installation work called Kusama’s Peep Show or Endless Love Show.
A mirrored hexagonal room with coloured lights that flashed in time to piped-in rock and roll, peep show, like its bawdy namesake, was experienced by views. Kusama experimented with the visual seduction of kinetic art to promote the aphrodisiacal qualities of fame in an environment. In the twist, rather than ogling an anonymous ‘star’ on the Peep Show’s stage, the only image one saw was one’s own – reflected ad infinitum in the mirrored walls, surrounded by blinking lights, for all the word like a kinetic marquee. Endless Love Show is also exhibited at the Tate Modern Museum in London, when I stayed in the space; the colourful and variegated colours make powerful attraction with the mirrored reflection. This work consists of blinking red, white, green and blue lights in a hexagonal-shaped mirrored room. It is a special experiment for viewers because of the flicker effect, which is created by the phantasmagoric colors.
Additionally, looking at the beautification of the mirrored room, the original limited space was redesigned like a never-ending word by the coloured lights. Through the participation of the show, viewers are led into Kusama’s hallucinogenic word and made sense personally. Overall, it can be offered a close experience of face-to-face communication and participation by the diversified use of colours, just like the endless love happens to you.
