We now get a better look at the Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton (PARIS:MC.PA -0.27%) animations that are presently on display at Tokyo's enormous Cross Shinjuku Vision billboard after last week's teaser images from bystanders.
Three of Kusama's famous pumpkins are first seen as the large 3D anamorphic display pops up from a polka-dot LV Damier trunk. The artist may be seen staring over the edge wearing the yellow sculpture, which is notably located on the island of Naoshima dedicated to art. The animations then switch to images of iridescent spheres from her Narcissus Garden artwork and other LV items with polka dots.
Up until December 7, a Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton display will be visible at the billboard outside Shinjuku station's east exit. The collaboration is scheduled to debut in January 2023.
“Ten years after a first collaboration, Yayoi Kusama’s symbolic objects, hypnotic motifs, and imaginings of infinity take over the Maison’s own emblems, creating magical objects that transcend time and space. First revealed on the Cruise 2023 runway, this year’s collaboration brings not only the artist’s signature dots to the Monogram canvas, but also explores a wide range of recurring themes,” writes Louis Vuitton of the joint project.
