Infinity Mirror Room: Fireflies on the Water

I saw this installation by Yayoi Kusuma during the Festival de Marseille at la Vieille de Charite. The installation is entered one at a time and the viewer stands on a platform, which protrudes peninsula-like into water. The walls and ceiling are covered in mirror, and the water on the floor is reflective. Hundred of wires hang from the ceiling, each with a different colored light at the end. The effect - "fireflies" that go on forever, in every direction.





Here is a linke to video of the installation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KVkXxtcszc

In the projections for my thesis performance I'd like to play with points of light against a black backdrop, but perhaps something more sparse, and also play with moving light.
