Reflections on Yuichiro Tamura’s Milky Mountain at the Govett-Brewster, by Vanessa Crofskey
The Govett-Brewster building feels very much like it belongs in Yuichiro Tamura’s exhibition.

Being inside it feels like a Murakami novel.

This piece is presented as part of a partnership with the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre.
I catch my reflection in the House of Mirrors-style exterior of the Govett-Brewster and almost don’t recognise myself. I look like a shiny, mirrored stranger assembled from wobbly body-parts.
