Transfers of red flowers are handed to January
visitors entering Yayoi Kusama’s space. The writing is on the wall at the
entrance: “I saw an entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe
covered with red flowers… My soul was obliterated and I was restored, returned
to infinity, to eternal time and absolute space. This was not illusion but
reality itself.” Flowers, peeled off, are fixed to surfaces, leaving red
outlines on the backing. But there is another reality: Conditions of Entry. A
guard warned it isn’t allowed to take home used transfer backings left in the
bins provided.
