One of the most startling multimedia exercises in surrealism and abstract expressionism, Peter Gabriel’s EVE appositely conjoins the work of several contemporary art references as is the singular case of Yayoi Kusama. Born in Japan at the height of the 30’s economical depression, the artist has skillfully adopted the conceptual trends of the WWII aftermath: a self-confessed period of struggle against childhood traumas which have, nonetheless, fueled much creativity throughout her entire career.
In addition to the bubbling cocoa sculptures from Helen Chadwick and the music of Peter Gabriel, Kusama’s recurrent thesis and patterns, as is the case of the iconic Polka Dot, are ubiquitous during the initial moments of this 1997 award-winning modern art exposition made interactive CD-ROM. Her likeness can be spotted in the form of the docile Geisha during the exploration and music interaction phases, alongside with Gabriel in a contrasting gentlemanly attire.
