Art lovers and the downright curious braved cold temperatures and occasional rain and snow for hours to get short looks at Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room - The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, part of her I Who Have Arrived In Heaven exhibition at David Zwirner gallery in New York City.
Once inside visitors stepped into a room lined with mirrors that reflected the 75 suspended colored LED bulbs, perhaps sparking thoughts on death and the afterlife if not for the 45-second time limit enforced by the gallery's docents. But this is enough time for what some called an out-of-body experience, which can be described but not sufficiently captured in photographs.
