"There are infinite dots in this universe, the stars are dots and we are all dots, you are a dot, I am a dot, there are lots of countries and they are all dots." - Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama's artistic philosophy is simple; make dots, lots of them and repeat on horses, on asses, on cats, on balloons and in lakes. Via never-ending replication, these dots morph into avant garde forms, from infinite phalli to watery fireflies.
Screening as part of the MCA's MIRRORED YEARS exhibition, I ADORE MYSELF follows the artist over one and a half years, as she creates a collection called 'Love - Forever'. During this time we see Kusama's genius stretching from Japan to New York, where she dabbled in Andy Warhol's 'Factory' and staged orgies-come-protests on the Brooklyn Bridge. It shows an artist frightened by war, obsessed by love, ridiculously talented and brilliantly dotty.
