Since childhood, Kusama has been afflicted with a condition that makes her see spots,
which means she sees the world in a surreal, almost hallucinogenic way that sits very well
with the Wonderland of Alice. She is fascinated by childhood and the way adults have the
ability, at their most creative, to see things the way children do, a central concern of the
Alice books, by Lewis Carroll.
The book will be colour illustrated to very high
specification, with her images interspersed thoughtfully throughout the text.
Produced
in collaboration with the Kusama Studio, Tokyo and Gagosian Gallery.
