'Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity' (2/3)

We were able to go back to the “Infinity Mirrors” exhibit at the Hirshhorn Museum on Saturday morning thanks to special viewing events for members of the museum. When we arrived at our appointed time (before the museum had opened to the public), there were already hundreds of people waiting in line outside, who all had managed to secure timed passes that are available online for about one minute at noon every Monday (no exaggeration, this exhibit is wildly popular, and the passes for the coming week are snapped up in less than a minute).

I must say, it was so nice not to have to battle the long lines inside the exhibit before the general public was let in, plus we were allowed 30 seconds instead of the usual 20 inside the room. We returned just to see the one room we had missed last time and as expected, it was incredibly difficult to photograph -- terribly dark and with lanterns hanging down right in front of us. This time, however, we went through the line of only a few people three times to try to get something halfway decent. Not sure that we did, but we did what we could!
