"Sometimes it all comes down at once, Sometimes when it rains, it pours".
Check out this installation by Yayoi Kusama called 'Infinity Mirrored Room - Filled with the Brillance of Life'. Too beautiful.
The work consists of two installations, the dark rooms 'filled with furniture and flourescent polka-dots that illuminate the space with the help of ultraviolet lighting. [...] Beyond this fantastical, hallucinatory room, her oneiric universe continues as viewers are treated to their own piece of infinity [...] Constructed from floor to ceiling mirrors with hundreds of L.E.D lights that constantly shift colour configurations to break the darkness'.

Installations where you can view the work as if you are part of it, are something of wonder. The idea and materials are a simple, but highly effective in its effect. I saw an exhibition for the Turner Prize in 2007, in the Tate: Liverpool, and there was a particular piece that made me feel like part of the installation, and it reminds me of Kusama's in its similarities.
Mike Nelson's work 'Amnesiac Shrine' was a work only visible through a small hole in the wall. I loved this work when I saw it, probably more for the visual aesthetics, rather than the work's background story. 'As with his previous work, the use of entrances, exits and doorways is crucial in the metaphoric connotations that they bring. The sand functions in a similar way, alluding to the vast expanses of other possible places, its imagery reflected into infinity through the mirrors which enclose it. The sand and mirrors perhaps bring about the work’s only recognisable allusion, echoing the minimalist cubes of Robert Smithson and Robert Morris. Yet where their mirrors looked outwards, those of the shrine look towards each other with an introspective ambiguity'.
