An art installation with film conceived and directed by iconic artist Jan Fabre and legendary performer Mikhail Baryshnikov, joined for the realization by Phil Griffin. The work unveils through eleven imaginary rooms of a photographic exhibition the platonic relationship between the subject and a female photographer who for years has manipulated his body and reworked it into different entities. The multimedia work explores the relations between an artist, his work and life, his public, and ultimately, the balance between giving and taking, between dependency and independency. A breathtaking art installation by two of the world's leading artists. Jan Fabre and Mikhail Baryshnikov create a unique experience.
