Naked and close
"I decided to make a film that would equal to Gelitins Art: a surreal trip in search of the four members of the artists group, leading through an almost unfathomable creative cosmos." (Angela Christlieb, director)
Gallerist Salvatore Viviano and director Angela Christlieb embark on a search for the lost artist collective Gelitin, which since the 1990s has shattered the borders of “good taste” again and again with extravagant actions and installations. Interviews with old companions and artist friends in the U.S., Europe, and Asia are linked with anarchically montaged Gelitin archive material: intense, transgressive, experimental, gaudily colorful, funny, and virulent.
