The two artists, from different generations and backgrounds, break with taboos and open up new spaces for perceiving and exploring the human body.

The videos and installations by Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist (born 1962) transport viewers into a sensual, colourful world.

She explores the female body in a playful way and questions society's ideas about sexuality, gender and identity. Through extreme close-ups of body parts, unusual perspectives and digital post-processing of the film material, she makes familiar subjects appear strange.

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (born 1929) had to fight hard to achieve this level of freedom. The recurring theme in her work is the polka dot, which she uses to cover people, animals and their surroundings. They are a metaphor for personal freedom and the concept of merging with the universe.

In the exhibition at the Neues Museum, these two artistic worlds come together in installations, videos, paintings and photographs, opening up new perspectives on two artists of different generations and origins.
