"Look, but don't touch" is the usual instruction at art exhibitions.
But people are being encouraged to get hands-on with a new show in Dunedin, and the gallery's even giving visitors free stickers to plaster all over the artwork.
The eerily white room is the starting point for an interactive exhibition at Dunedin's Public Art Gallery.
Getting your bearings is hard, with the furniture and fittings blending into the crisp, sanitised background.
But it doesn't stay that way for long.
"We invite members of our audience to come in and transform a domestic scene, a domestic environment, which starts off completely white," says gallery director Cam McCracken.
The show by contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is called The Obliteration Room.
It's designed to transform over time, through the participation of visitors, who get colourful dot stickers to add to the furniture, fittings, and walls.
"We've had a few days of people coming in and really engaging with the work," Mr McCracken says.
"So by the end of the three months, this room will be completely colourful."
Early visitors have used their artistic expression to create colourful animals, and smiley faces.
But the gallery doesn't expect they'll last long.
"I imagine those will be completely transformed," Mr McCracken says.
"They'll be obliterated by the end."
Dunedinites can add their touch to the dynamic installation until late July.
