Tender are the Stairs to Heaven is an installation by Yayoi Kusama. I saw this work in January at the NGV in Melbourne. Unfortunately this photograph doesn't express at all the experience of viewing the work. It's a ladder of neon fibre-optic cable that extends from the floor to the ceiling with mirrors at the top and bottom. The room is black and the ladder changes colour.
It goes on forever.
It was during the heat wave and I hadn't slept for a week. I wanted to cry.
