It encompasses an astonishing variety of media and styles, but her characteristically obsessive use of dot patterns is a recurrent feature. Kusama\u0026rsquo;s unique visual language refers to the time in her childhood when she began drawing while dealing with psychotic visions. Nonetheless, her practice has always been oriented outward, expressing a strong social consciousness. In the 1960s, she staged anti-war demonstrations in New York and organised various performances and happenings in Europe that explored the boundaries of identity, aiming to liberate people sexually and politically. Documented by Belgian and Dutch photographers, Kusama\u0026rsquo;s projects from that period show her links with the Zero Group.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nThe artist\u0026rsquo;s presence in Antwerp was marked by her first solo exhibition in Europe at Galerie Dorekens in 1962.

When she moved back to Japan in the 1970s, she also focused on writing rooted in the surrealist literary tradition.

Haar praktijk omvat een ongeziene verscheidenheid aan media en stijlen, maar haar kenmerkende obsessieve gebruik van stippatronen keert steeds terug. Kusama\u0026rsquo;s unieke beeldtaal verwijst naar de periode van in haar kindertijd toen ze begon te tekenen terwijl ze te kampen had met psychotische visioenen. Desondanks is haar praktijk altijd naar buiten gericht geweest, en getuigt deze van een sterk sociaal bewustzijn. In de jaren 1960 organiseerde Kusama anti-oorlogsdemonstraties in New York en verschillende performances in Europa die de grenzen van identiteit aftastten en mensen seksueel en politiek trachtten te bevrijden. Kusama\u0026rsquo;s projecten uit die periode, die uitvoerig\u0026nbsp;werden gedocumenteerd door Belgische en Nederlandse fotografen, tonen haar banden met de Zero-groep.\u003cbr /\u003e\r\n\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nDe aanwezigheid van de kunstenares in Antwerpen werd gemarkeerd door haar eerste solotentoonstelling in Europa in Galerie Dorekens in 1962. Ze kreeg ook de eerste prijs op het Internationaal Experimenteel Filmfestival in Knokke in 1968. Toen ze in de jaren zeventig opnieuw naar Japan verhuisde, legde ze zich ook toe op het schrijven van teksten die geworteld waren in de surrealistische literatuurtraditie.
