In reference to the myth of Narcissus, who is captivated by his own image reflected in the water, Narcissus Garden (1966/2009) brings together 750 stainless steel spheres on a reflecting pool on the roof of the Burle Marx Education and Culture Center, a building designed by Arquitetos Associados. In the artist's words, the work behaves like "a kinetic carpet," given the action of the wind, which creates different groupings of the spheres amidst the aquatic vegetation. 

This work is a version of the sculpture first presented at the 33rd Venice Biennale (1966). On that occasion, Yayoi Kusama secretly put 1.500 spheres up for sale, distributed next to the Italian pavilion with two plaques bearing the words: "Your narcissism for sale" and "Narcissus Garden, Kusama".
