Photographer's Note
Infinite Reflections
In addition to her fascination for dots, mirrors are another recurring theme in the work of Yayoi Kusama.
One of her works at the exhibition working in museum Voorlinden was a maze with countless round convex mirrors on the walls and ceilings, all of the same size.
A appropriate illustration for a short reflection at the end of 2019.
Christmas, the days of light and peace and the last days of 2019 with its abundance of retrospections and reflections of the past year are days that are excellent for self-reflection, to provide a good opportunity to determine how we stand in life and to formulate new wishes for the coming year.
Perhaps the three images of this mirror gallery can help with this.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Hello Rob,
I didn't see these mirrors in Stockholm. Obviously they provide the "infinite reflections" of the title, or more down to earth an "infinite number of selfies". Ms Kusama had a very smart idea, part of which is to design the room for a maximum effect. That is something she also used in the Stockholm exhibition. Then it's up to the photographer to handle the light and the challenges, which you did well.
I wish you continued nice holidays.

Hallo Rob,
Genoeg spiegels om uitgebreid op het afgelopen jaar te reflecteren, sterker nog, we kunnen met gemak het afgelopen decennium de revue laten passeren. Het aantrekkelijkst is hier nog wel dat alle ronde spiegels door alle ronde spiegels worden gespiegeld.

Beste Rob,
Ik wens u zeker ook een gezellig kerst(bijna voorbij) maar zeker een gezond 2020
Uw foto zorgt voor een heel mooi decoratief geheel.
Zeke wanneer we de fotograaf ontdekken in de weerspigelingen.
Mooi foto werk Rob. Bedankt.
Groeten uit een zeer rustig Vlaanderen,

HI Rob,
The reflections are impressive. The point of view is showing the details of the mirrors and of the reflections. The light is giving good colours output. Merry Chritsmas.

Merry Christmas Rob!
I would have spent quite a while photographing these mirrored artworks; there are so many possibilities for different compositions. I like this main view of the labyrinth, and it's nice to see you in the WS photo, too. :-) I hope you're having a beautiful holiday season.

Hi Rob
Another beautifully graphic image from that exhibition. I love the sense of depth and perspective as well as the repetitive pattern of reflections inside the reflections.
Best wishes

Hello Rob, Multiple mirrors are heaven for photographers. What fun here! I like most the multiple selfie in WS. Here the original idea of these many round mirrors that give the mind-boggling effect. Christmas is over, I wish you happy prosperous New Year, full of wonderful photo possibilities.

Hallo Rob, the convex mirrors remind shields. They are placed on the walls and create multiple reflections. That gallery should be fascinating to visit. Fine colors, good sharpness, interesting photo note, regards.

Hello Rob,
This is an amazing series of photographs.
I love the repeating shapes and the reflections, all set in this zig-zag passage, wonderfully colour co-ordinated.
This is the sort of image that would be shown to suggest the interior of an alien spaceship, with lots of circular dials and buttons. As a photograph, it is amazing for its clarity and design.
Love the w/s, too!
I cannot help being reminded of the work of Anish Kapoor!
All the very best to you, Annelies and Lars for 2020,
Bev :-)

Ciao Rob
I like this one too! Amazing repetition and reflections in the mirrors. It reminds me a bit of Crystal world in Wattens, Austria. Good sharpness and effective tight framing. Tfs!
