About the film:
Over the course of her 70-year career, Louise Bourgeois established herself as an internationally acclaimed artist, leaving an indelible mark on the art world. Her work is deeply connected to personal trauma and explores themes of femininity, sexuality, family, and childhood. Bourgeois worked across a wide range of materials, driven by intense force and emotion. She broke with convention and exposed her own vulnerabilities in ways few artists before her had dared.
Drawing on excerpts from exclusive audio recordings and previously unpublished diary entries, the film creates an intimate portrait of a woman shaped by exile and inner conflict. It shows how she constantly sought to make the world see art in a new way—as a mirror for our own questions. In this way, emotion, vulnerability, and anxiety become sources of strength. Louise Bourgeois is her work, and her sculptures are her body.
