Yayoi Kusama Themed Zone to Open at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong in November

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong will unveil a new artistic zone dedicated to Yayoi Kusama on November 3, 2016. The installation will feature a wax figure of the Japanese artist dressed in a polka dot dress. Elements of Kusama's signature aesthetic will be displayed, including a room with black polka dots on a yellow background. A large pumpkin sculpture will be suspended at the entrance. An installation using parallel mirrors with lighting effects will recreate the experience of her Infinity Rooms. Kusama expressed hope that visitors would embrace the positive energy evoked by the zone. The display aims to invite visitors to experience the concept of self-obliteration. The project was reported by The Art Newspaper.
