Creation of the music for the show
A private and ironic visit to the reserved world of contemporary art, Jeff Koons depicts the antics of a specimen of this special genre: wandering in discotheques, drinking with colleagues, inspiration, interviews, introspection, love encounters, technical realization of the work, fatherhood, speeches and flirting at openings...
Jeff Koons questions "being an artist": How does the world live when you are an artist? What are the apprehensions, the inspirations of the work? How, in one fell swoop, does an everyday banality become a work for the future? Little by little, a body takes shape: a social, political and artistic body.
