The Victoria Miro presents the second of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's two-part tour de force. Spanning two buildings, Kusama's unique universe features her trademark use of repetition — including spots, nets and phallic protrusions. Meanwhile, the 1,500 reflective spheres that make up the infamous Narcissus Garden reside in Regents Canal and act as a figurative bridge that joins the exhibition spaces together. Evoking isolation, desolation and obliterating endlessness, there's more of Kusama's wistful whimsy than you can poke a stick at.
