Abstract
"As the second volume of the New People Artist Series, this documentary features the avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama, whose love of polka dots and nets is well recognized throughout the international art world. This film captures Kusama’s creative process as she diligently works to complete her new series of 50 large monochrome drawings. As her work comes to life, one can witness the essence of her art as it wells up in the conflict between life, death, and love; sometimes quietly and sometimes just the opposite. Her firm self-confidence and dignified spirit combined with a year and a half worth of invaluable footage allows viewers to enter Kusama’s world with never a dull moment."
