The holidays are here! With all the baking, cooking, planning, shopping, wrapping, travel and decorating it seems there isn’t a moment to breathe. Wouldn’t it be nice to escape to a world away from reality, a place where you can immerse yourself in the moment so completely, experience the joy of existence without the nagging pull of reality?
Pamper yourself, or gift these truly immersive experiences, and “get away from it all.”
Make 2025 your “escape” year and “get away from it all” by taking advantage of these immerse experiences.

Infinity Mirrored Room: The Souls Of Millions Of Light Years Away

Artist Yayoi Kusama’s immersive artwork, “Infinity Mirrored Room: The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away” at The Broad in downtown Los Angeles is my favorite for pure sensory delight. If they didn’t make you leave, I would easily spend an entire day awestruck inside this incredible work of art.
The work allows the observer to see light repeatedly reflected off the mirrored surfaces to create the illusion of a never-ending space.
Kusama’s 2013 work, constructed of wood, metal, glass mirrors, plastic, acrylic panel, rubber, a LED lighting system, acrylic balls and water, has to be experienced to understand its power to transport you to a heightened sense of “being.”
This installation is inside a mirror-lined room with flashing LED lights that you physically enter with a door that closes behind you. If you are uncomfortable with flashing lights and/or enclosed, dark spaces, you might not be comfortable with this experience.
Kusama’s first
Timed ticket is required for entry, but tickets are free. General Admission and Infinity Mirrored Room plus general admission tickets are released monthly on the last Wednesday at 10 a.m. for visiting The Broad the following month.
