This film chronicles the life of an artist who spanned an entire century, exploring seventy years of her career through the words and voice of Louise Bourgeois—French-born sculptor, draughtswoman, printmaker, and visual artist, later naturalized American. A life of creation, an intimate confrontation with materials to exorcise the past and reshape her narrative. Selections from her journals, letters, and drawings; evolving forms, emerging sculptures, and interwoven embroidered works : all these elements weave together the portrait of an artist whose life and work are inextricably linked. It is also an autopsy of the psyche of a divided and tormented woman who fought tirelessly against herself and a male-dominated, exclusionary art world in order to assert a new artistic vision. An art that reflects our innermost questions, where fragility, fear, and emotion transform into forces of expression.
