Walking in My Mind transforms the Hayward Gallery – inside and out – into a bizarre world of interactive, large-scale installations.
Each mindscape explores the inner workings of one of 10 artists' imaginations, blurring the personal and public and revealing their deepest thoughts, fears and dreams.
Dots Obsession, a new work by Yayoi Kusama. The Japanese artist is also behind the 25 red polka-dot covered trees placed along Queen's Walk for the duration of the exhibition
Charles Avery's tardis-like Eternity Chamber, plus his imaginary island
Thomas Hirschhorn presents Cavemanman, a sprawling complex of caves and linking tunnels made from cardboard and brown parcel tape
Pipilotti Rist (Switzerland) is best known for her lush, multimedia installations, which blend fantasy and reality. Here she presents Extremities (smooth, smooth) (1999) in which images of body parts – a gigantic foot, hand, breast, mouth and ear – float and dance in space
