Contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is known around the world for her large bright polka-dotted canvas works, mirrored immersive spaces and large distinctive scultpures. She turns 90 next year, and is still working, exhibitions of her art show around the world and she has a hugely popular dedicated museum in Tokyo. She has experienced mental health issues for many years and since the 1970s has voluntarily lived in a psychiatric institution in Japan. American filmmaker Heather Lenz spent 17 years making a documentary about her life, called Kusama: Infinity.
