We headed up to London on a really quick visit to see my aunt and to go to Walking In My Mind which is on at the Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre. I had earmarked this exhibition as one to go to because it had installation works by Yoshimoto Nara and Yayoi Kusama but the whole thing was interesting. Well worth going to if you like installation art. Part of the Kusama installation was that the trees along the riverbank were wrapped in this dotted fabric. I love how it looks.
Photographs were not allowed in the gallery but this was part of the outside Kusama piece.
If you want to see some other Kusama work Hiki of jollygoo has some great pictures of other work on Naoshima here.
Southbank itself is really an interesting place to walk around. Mostly I have come here at night so it was nice to see it in the daylight.

I was going to see this today! But put off by the weather… noticed the grey clouds in your last photo. Went to see Burma VJ instead.
great pictures from the southbank. can’t believe how dramatic the clouds look in the last photo, and with light on wheel, really nice. wish i had the opportunity to see that exhibition, sounds great!
awesome pictures! kusama-san’s work always makes me dizzy and anxious about my own sanity, but i love it for that.
Wow, your pics from Walking In My Mind look great! I am planning a trip to see the exhibition in mid-August – I can’t wait! This post has been a nice little taster as the only pics I’ve seen so far are from the Hayward website :)
