PSICODELICO..........

She was born into a wealthy family and became a typical self-loathing Japanese preferring the company of foreigners to Japanese people. If there wasn't a rich family to back up her "art" she would have never became famous... I'm not saying that I don't enjoy some of her work, but she' privileged and spoiled and people shouldn't forget that when they judge her work.

she was poluting the water,she is a great artist but she shouldn't do that

Do you have the bibliographic info for this film by chance? I'd like to reference it in a speech I'm working on.

[siljessi]

Asians are fucking weird :3

[roneechan]

from Google, apparently she's still lives in a mental hospital out of her own free will, and works at a studio nearby

[SamIamb]

Thank you for posting this. Does anyone know, is she still living in a mental hospital, or did she back into private residence at some point? Because, last I heard (which was a retrospective at NYC's Museum of Modern Art during the late '90s), I'm pretty sure she was confined in a relatively comfortable Japanese hospital and doing all her artwork from there.

I'm scared

It's great that this is on youtube. I love Kusama's work: I wrote my bachelor thesis about her.

[donaldolofsson]

Love it!!!! Also love tha droning music...the chanting...soo haunting..perfect backdrop for the imagery.

How did you get this onto the computer? Was the film ...filmed with a digital format? Questions abound where answers are found. I've got a dvd about Winston Hardy, the chanter and ham I call a dad:) I'll have to find it first and find how to post it after.

My dad is Win Hardy of "CIA Change", Far out :)

How can I find more of their work?

[mmonus]

The diddly dot, but my heart is caught

when i first saw her work, i was like blank, i dont understand what makes her polka dots so special, eveyone can draw polka dots. i was really curious, so i started to search

and examine her art works, i still dont get it, but i guess i'm starting to like it, she's very unique and brave.
