This is a giant iron spider. Its gray and black iron, uneven surface, and its hard texture, offer people a sense of fear. Its huge scale causes a sense of oppression.

Interestingly, this spider is actually a symbol of Louis’ good friend, his mother.

Louis once wrote：“The friend (the spider – why the spider?) because my best friend was my mother and she was deliberate, clever, patient, soothing, reasonable, dainty, subtle, indispensable, neat, and as useful as a spider.”

Artist: Yayoi Kusama

Artwork: Infinity Mirrored Room 

Materials：Wood, mirrors, metal, light bulbs

Scale：82 × 94 × 80 in; 208.3 × 238.8 × 203.2 cm

Kusama adopted wood, mirrors, metal and light bulbs to create an illusory and bizarre space. The color lights provides the space with bright colors, and make it look like a world of fairy tale.

But the hardness of wood, the apparent edges of metals, and the reflections of the mirrors create the feeling of no end.

Artist：Nele Azevedo

Artwork: Melting Men

Material：ice

Scale：Nelle Azevedo placed 1000 ice figurines on the steps of the concert hall in Berlin’s gendarmerie square.

It is said that the temperature on the exhibition day was 23 ℃.
The little Iceman is crystal clear, and the cool feeling brought the visitors a temperately cool summer.

The icemen sat neatly on the steps. They had no obvious edges, only the texture formed naturally during the freezing process.

But as time fled, the icemen began to melt in different melting speed, which made them looked stagger.

Perhaps Nelle Azevedo was trying to trigger people consider about the fleeting of beauty, and brought people to concern about global warming.
