Urubù

CLASSIFICAZIONE SCIENTIFICA

Stati Uniti, Sud America

L’Urubù o Avvoltoio nero americano è presente negli Stati Uniti orientali e meridionali fino all’Argentina ed il Cile centrale. Predilige terreni aperti intervallati da zone boschive o cespugliose, zone umide, paludi e pascoli.

Ha zampe molto allungate e parzialmente palmate, testa e collo glabri e cute rugosa. Il restante piumaggio è di colore marrone scuro tendente al nero. Può raggiungere una taglia di 58 – 69 centimetri ed ha un’aspettativa di vita di 16 anni. Come altri avvoltoi, svolge un ruolo importante nell'ecosistema eliminando le carogne che altrimenti sarebbero un terreno fertile per le malattie.

Collection Details

This exhibition is a rare chance to experience two of Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms. These immersive installations will transport you into Kusama’s unique vision of endless reflections.

Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life is one of Kusama’s largest installations to date and was made for her 2012 retrospective at the gallery. It is shown alongside Chandelier of Grief, a room which creates the illusion of a boundless universe of rotating crystal chandeliers.

A small presentation of photographs – some on display for the first time – provides historical context for the global phenomenon that Kusama’s mirrored rooms have become today.
