Yayoi Kusama's Obliteration Room | TateShots
Artist Yayoi Kusama's interactive Obliteration Room begins as an entirely white space, furnished as a monochrome living room, which people are then invited to 'obliterate' with multi-coloured stickers.
Over the course of a few weeks the room was transformed from a blank canvas into an explosion of colour, with thousands of spots stuck over every available surface.
TateShots produced this time-lapse video of the Obliteration Room covering the first few weeks of its presentation at Tate Modern in 2012. It was first conceived as a project for children, and was first staged at the Queensland Art Gallery in 2002.

I am 26 and feel very ignorant of art. I feel like I was funneled into a scientific background. Art was not really an avenue for my family or at my school but I find it very interesting. I am now on a self learning journey and this channel is part of that.
I see this as the blank canvas of life. Everyone is invited to leave their mark show thier talent and individuality, their unique creativity. The problem is that the world is filled with so many people, so many colors, so many little stickers. And here the artist is saying "you have one chance, how will you stand out?"

She did not ask anyone to stand out. She invited everyone into her world.

She could do this to a white room prison cell if they didn't lock her in
I had the opportunity to visit this room and the other Kusama's exposition in Chile. And I achieved to identify myself by that obsesion for colours and dots. It was so fascinant. I'd visit it again if another chance would let me so. Very beauty.
In answer to those that asked, Nick shot this on a Canon 5d, taking more than 14,500 stills over 14 days (and also reading three books in the process).

wow that's crazy :)
It's way too bright and it gives me a slight headache, but there is something so fascinating about her vision. If this is how she felt when she saw those visions of dots as a kid, she's immersed us into her personal experience. That's talent...
Love when art allows the spectator to participate in the creative process! Love you Yayoi
I participated in one of these rooms maybe 4 or 5 years ago, right at the end of the exhibition. When all the dots had already been placed by visitors for weeks. But actually seeing the transformation from something that isn't really a anything, just white surfaces. To something where you can actually make out the curves of these surfaces easily. Gave me a completely different view of the exhibition. Really interesting.
03:39 looks like it was painted. Very cool project. I loved watching the children add their dots.

They did cover Nick's camera twice actually...
I LOVE THIS Just like Antony Gormley says everyone should be involved not distanced from art . It's not a thing to be made apart from but be made a part of.
This is magic
i think it speaks to the inherent artist within the average joe. suggesting the real art is finding a way to make something thought inspiring and original.
MOAR spots on the couch and ground, please! Feels so incomplete!
For some reason I feel the need to put spots on the underside of chairs and tables 😵😵😵

We need you here
It's interesting how most people go directly for the wall first lol I wonder how many people decided to put dots under the furniture where no one would see their artwork xD I know I would have made my pattern under the desk drawer and maybe even under the couch, maybe a smiley face or my name
I love that this amazing event was open to children as well.🙂
Magical.
This room makes me emotional.
We are so lucky. Yayoi Kusama retrospective now in Tel Aviv. Israel
I'd be honored to meet Yayoi! I'm coming to Toronto soon and I happen to catch this installment when I'm there.
Why has this not gone viral?
She is so inspiring!
so amazing
I’m not sure why, but this got me a little teary eyed.
oh wow, the room looks beautiful. Wish I could have gone to see it in person >
WOW!!! I LOVE this!
Spot on! Love Kuzama!💜💜💜

crowd-sourced pointillism

Wow.
I can’t get over it. I just see IKEA furniture. 😂
I wonder how much time did it take to take all the stickers off the walls, ceiling and floor after the exhibition
they did actually, twice. took me ages to clean it...
Looks like the top of Pepperidge Farm Birthday cake.
You have teach me art
All the bags look like dead people.

El comentario en español que buscabas crack
Dooope
I'd like to participate in this
Называется " Посмотри за окнами осень" 🤩
People can choose where to place the stickers, but the result is actually nothing
THE THICK OF IT
What a brilliant idea! As an artist I don't join movements but let me just make this small statement and I'll be on my way. 🔶🔻✖️

Hei i see UR a artist. I was wondering how this work can be used with kids ås å inspirasjon. Will apreciate UR answer
I would have pasted up a specter of Serat in the midst of all that randomness. All I could think of, watching this, was a colony of ants depositing pupae.
It's like Tom Sawyer and the fence, though kind of in reverse.
No one thought to cover the lens of the camera?
amazing
i have a question, what message does she want to bring over to people? and what do you like about her work and why?
She didn't even made this herself?
Thank you Like this video

People probably look for the best spot so that it feels more special, that is what fascinates me about it
her show was meant to happen this year 2020 at the TATE Modern London, has it still gone ahead ?
reminds me of the worm game on steam
Amazing. very thought provoking.
I really love her work
Hey im making a work about kusamas art so i need a lot of good information ! Expecially about the pumpking do someone know where i can get good info about it ?
Yayoi Kusama ++++++
this reminds me of oh my girl colours mv
I suppose someone has to fill the role of the philistine who comes in and burps about how "my kid could do that" and "that's not art, that's some random crap," so thank you for doing that job so well - I sure as hell wouldn't want to.
I didn't see it o_o
😍😍😍😍😍
