A Panoramic View of Yayoi Kusama's Universe, Captured Over Three Years
Photographer Benjamin Lee has consistently captured artists, cultural figures, creators, and celebrities from around the globe. In 1977, he established a studio in London, where he worked on corporate advertising photography while also photographing portraits of prominent Western figures. He relocated his base to Japan in 1987 and has recently been presenting portrait works of Japanese cultural figures.
For the past three years, his focus has been on Yayoi Kusama, the internationally acclaimed contemporary artist. This exhibition features striking images of her as she energetically pursues her creative activities across Paris, London, Hong Kong, New York, Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagano. Benjamin Lee's photographs capture Kusama's passionate artistic expression, presented in a panoramic spatial composition. The venue is filled with Kusama's universe, celebrating her message of "eternal love."
