“I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland.” Yayoi Kusama

you may not normally visit the wellington city gallery but you really should check out this show (which marks the reopening after a year of rennovation) by Yayoi Kusama. Among other things is this room - you enter through the door and then get sealed in by an attendant. Inside, it's dark, the walls and ceiling are mirrors, the floor is a pool of water and you are standing on a narrow gangplank. All around you are thousands of little LEDs suspended in the space. Very hard to describe how fantastic this experience is - go see it for yourself..
