LOVE IS CALLING, which premiered in Japan in 2013, is the most immersive and kaleidoscopic of the artist’s Infinity Mirror Rooms. Representing the culmination of her artistic achievements, it exemplifies the breadth of her visual vocabulary—from her signature polka dots and soft sculptures to brilliant colors, the spoken word, and most importantly, endless reflections and the illusion of space. It is composed of a darkened, mirrored room illuminated by inflatable, tentacle-like forms—covered in the artist’s characteristic polka dots—that extend from the floor and ceiling, gradually changing colors. As visitors walk throughout the installation, a sound recording of Kusama reciting a love poem in Japanese plays continuously.

What is surprising, refreshing, most interesting?
I went to ICA specifically to see this exhibition and it was worth making a trip all the way to seaport. The room is quite small but the structures and the mirrors made it look big. There was a time limit to the space so I was there only for a short time but I wouldn't mind spending an hour there just sitting and looking around the space. I also liked how people are let in by our own groups. I went with a friend and we had the space to ourselves and it was fun taking pictures and experiencing it with very little people. I love large scale installations in general and it really captures what experience design is.
