USA 2018, 77 min., OV Japanese/English with German subtitles, DVD projection

Yayoi Kusama is the most successful living artist in the world today. But she had to overcome countless hurdles before her radical artistic visions gained worldwide attention. The trauma of growing up in Japan during the Second World War, life in a dysfunctional family, sexism and racism in the art world and, last but not least, a mental illness always made her an outsider. Despite all this, Kusama created an enormous legacy, ranging from paintings, sculptures and installations to poetry and novels. Her exhibitions with the world-famous Infinity Mirror Rooms and Polka Dots are attracting record numbers of visitors around the world, while she herself never tires of adding new works to her wondrous universe.

KUSAMA: INFINITY portrays an incomparable artist and traces her life dedicated to art over a period of more than six decades. Director Heather Lenz tells the story of a courageous trailblazer who, against all odds, succeeded in realizing her uniquely creative vision.
