Overview

In this book, Christian Soleil walks through Yayoi Kusama's universe as one steps into a waking dream. He follows the path of a woman who turned her obsessions into constellations, her fears into bursts of light, her dots into entire galaxies. Between Tokyo and New York, between the quiet of a hospital room and the roar of exhibition halls, unfolds the story of an artist who transformed vertigo into an aesthetic and repetition into a hymn of freedom. Soleil retraces the journey of a pioneer who never stopped opening doors to the invisible, blending testimonies, archives, and encounters to reveal the intimate beneath the spectacular. Yayoi Kusama, a land of illusions is both a biography and a passage - the story of a woman who shaped the artistic landscape of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the story of an imagination in which readers may find echoes of their own fractures and their own sparks of light. A sensitive, luminous journey that celebrates the creative power of an artist who turned illusion not into escape but into territory - a territory one enters as if approaching a mirror, with the strange feeling that infinity has suddenly come within reach.
