The Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (Malba) has shared an excerpt from a 2013 film made in Tokyo by Martín Rietti for the promotion of a Yayoi Kusama exhibition at the museum. The announcement directs viewers to the complete film on Malba’s YouTube channel.

Titled ‘YAYOI KUSAMA Obsesión Infinita — Un film de Martín Rietti’ on YouTube, the video is identified by Malba as a film produced in Tokyo in connection with its Kusama exhibition. The museum’s post presents the newly circulated material as an excerpt rather than announcing a new exhibition or event.

The footage was made in 2013, according to Malba’s announcement. No further production details, including the film’s length, the specific locations shown in Tokyo, or the participants featured, are provided in the available source material.

The post also does not give dates for the original exhibition, identify the works included, or describe the format of the presentation at Malba. The museum’s wording establishes the connection between the film and the exhibition, but supplies no additional curatorial or biographical information about Kusama or Rietti.

The complete video is available through the museum’s YouTube channel, while the circulated social-media post contains an excerpt. The source material provides no indication of a related current exhibition, screening programme, or other public event beyond the online sharing of the 2013 film.
