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.
Forget about "rules" and opinions and just follow your heart. Get inspired, and if you like you can always learn techniques, but in the end art is personal, so don't worry about ignorance and make it your own!
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?"
Damn this comment
She did not ask anyone to stand out. She invited everyone into her world.
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).
que lindo
v nice ..
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...
03:39 looks like it was painted. Very cool project. I loved watching the children add their dots.
Time stamp
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.
Love when art allows the spectator to participate in the creative process! Love you Yayoi
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.
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.

The color is a must but white peace not change anything
Fantastic :)
Great :)
Y está aquí en México!!
She could do this to a white room prison cell if they didn't lock her in
MOAR spots on the couch and ground, please! Feels so incomplete!
This is magic
For some reason I feel the need to put spots on the underside of chairs and tables 😵😵😵
Same
👍
We need you here
We are so lucky. Yayoi Kusama retrospective now in Tel Aviv. Israel
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
Magical.
Why has this not gone viral?
I love that this amazing event was open to children as well.🙂
I’m not sure why, but this got me a little teary eyed.
I'd be honored to meet Yayoi! I'm coming to Toronto soon and I happen to catch this installment when I'm there.
crowd-sourced pointillism
I don't know for some reason i fell happiness
oh wow, the room looks beautiful. Wish I could have gone to see it in person >
Reminds me of a heat map.
This room makes me emotional.
Why did this make me emotional my gosh
they did actually, twice. took me ages to clean it...
This art may really live, move, grow ... forever.
It looks like paint every where
Looks like the top of Pepperidge Farm Birthday cake.
Называется " Посмотри за окнами осень" 🤩
Two words to describe this: Pure Beauty
THE BEST OF BEAUTY IN HER ROOM!
She is so inspiring!
El comentario en español que buscabas crack
I love the collective effort to decorate around the security guard 3:05
Beautiful Kusama...
I wonder how much time did it take to take all the stickers off the walls, ceiling and floor after the exhibition
I had heard of this and I didnt know it was at Tate
All the bags look like dead people.
Hey, I went to the one in Brisbane years ago, it's awesome!
You have teach me art
Spot on! Love Kuzama!💜💜💜
Looks so fun.
I love such a visitor-involving work of art😆👍
Bravo. Art can be serious and funny.:)
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 liked the room when it was white.
John Flood I liked it when it had some stickers.
I personally thought it looked really nice when it had a few randomly spaced stickers scattered about. It was simplistic.
But the end project was also something amazing, to me.
her work...art and ideas are brilliant man!!!!!!!!
Nice idea:) too want it in my room-.- many people lol!
so amazing
Que hermosa experiencia para los que fueron a ese lugar!!
BRILLIANT!!!!!!
I can’t get over it. I just see IKEA furniture. 😂
I love this woman!!!
me too
WOW!!! I LOVE this!
Wow.
Lovely idea!
People probably look for the best spot so that it feels more special, that is what fascinates me about it
People can choose where to place the stickers, but the result is actually nothing
awesome!
She didn't even made this herself?
I'd like to participate in this
I'm going to do this in my room I think
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
COOL!!
It's like Tom Sawyer and the fence, though kind of in reverse.
No one thought to cover the lens of the camera?
Amazing!!
Nice
AMAZING!!!
The real-life version of /r/place.
kmoe place is reAl
I liked it about half way through, you could see peoples designs or spots of interest. Then it just became a mess where you couldn't really see anybodys creativity just a blur. I was also confused by the blog I read with it that it was done by children but the video showed mostly adults with few children. Still an interesting idea. What was done with the room after?
Que grande mi tio, un artista!! 💪
💖 it !
THE THICK OF IT
Dat looks cool!
I really love this!!!😍😍😍
Fabulous!
amazing
Love it!
This is genius, get other people to do the work for you
