Yayoi Kusama - Kusama’s Self Obliteration (1967) Part 1 (by Andyfshito)
“Kusama’s Self-Obliteration” was a film which Kusama produced and starred in 1967. The film won a prize at the Fourth International Experimental Film Competition in Belgium, and it took second prize a the Second Maryland Film Festival. It won second prize at the Ann Arbor Film Festival as well.
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist whose paintings, collages, soft sculptures, performance art and environmental installations all share an obsession with repetition, pattern, and accumulation. Kusama’s work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, art brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism. It is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. On November 12, 2008, Christies New York sold a piece of her work for $5.1 million, a record for a living female artist.
