This art installation by Yayoi Kusama features hundreds of multicolored LED lights that were suspended from floor to ceiling at different heights. The lights turned the room into what felt like eternity as the square mirror panelled room had a shallow reflecting pool on the floor and lights came on and off giving a strobe like effect.
