Yayoi Kusama's Obliteration Room - a visually memorable participatory art

Yayoi Kusama's Obliteration Room

 

A must-see participatory art space, Artist Yayoi Kusama's interactive Obliteration Room begins as an entirely white space, furnished as a monochrome living room, which people are then invited to 'obliterate' with multi-coloured stickers.  

藝術家草間彌生（Yayoi Kusama）的互動式藝術間，名為 Obliteration Room (中譯：散室） 起初是一個完全單白色的客廳空間，然後邀請參觀人士可用大小不同的顏色圓形貼紙，自由貼在客廳空間任何一個角落。

At the start of the exhibtion, this room was completely white – white ceiling, white floor, white walls, white furniture. People come in, they are given a sheet of coloured stickers in different sizes, which have been produced specially for the project and in accordance with the artist’s specifications; her choice of colour, her choice of finish, and her choice of size. And then everybody is invited to place the stickers anywhere they like in the room, according to any pattern, any idea they have, anything they like they can do with the stickers.

展覽開始時，這個房間是完全白色的-白色天花板，白色地板，白色牆壁，白色家具。人們進來時，會得到一張不同大小的彩色貼紙，這些貼紙是專門為該項目製作的，並且符合藝術家的規格，如她對顏色的選擇，對貼紙表面處理的選擇，以及對尺寸的選擇。然後邀請所有參觀者按照他們任何的想法和喜歡在房間中的任何位置，將貼紙貼上。
