ABOVE: It's Miss Ko². She was on display in THE SALON OF WAR! Or should that be the Salon de Phwoar! Yes, I think so. She's dressed as a waitress from the Anna Miller's restaurant chain, which is popular in Japan, but actually Hawaiian in origin. Blimey. BELOW: The legendary Hall Of Mirrors, which is both extravagant & beautiful. On the picture below right , I'd been screwing around with the camera exposure, so you could see what the ceiling looks like. Flower Matango is the piece in the pictures further below.

ABOVE: Now then, the above four pictures were taken in The Salon of Peace. The two pictures directly above are of Murakami's Superflat Flowers, but taken from a reflection opposite the piece itself. The mirrored glass is actually covered with people who have scratched their names on the surface (charming). I've screwed around with the image (above left) and also made an inverted copy of it (above right), which also looks rather nice. BELOW: In The Peers' Salon is a piece entitled The Simple Things, which was made in partership with Music producer Pharrell Williams. It's an overworked, unpleasant and frankly banal piece which didn't fit into the exhibition at all. By far the weakest piece on display. Moving on...

The Emperor's New Clothes
ABOVE: Three pictures of a very blingy piece simply called 'J'. It was made in collaboration with Kanye West, and is based on a pendant rappers and hippity-hoppers wear. ABOVE RIGHT: The Emperor's New Clothes, which was in The Coronation Room. I like!
