A film exploring the archives, paintings, drawings and personal objects of Philippe Vandenberg - an immersion into his life and into the abyss of artistic creation.

synopsis

Philippe Vandenberg is one of the most radical, post WWII Belgian artists. In June of 2009 he decided to end his own life. Ten years later, his workshop opens its doors again. A single shot slides along his work, attributes, sources of inspiration and memories. Along the way images are projected inside the shop. These images bring the artist back to his workshop.
Philippe Vandenberg est l'un des artistes belges après-guerre les plus radicaux. Il se suicide en juin 2009. Dix ans plus tard, son atelier ouvre à nouveau ses portes. Un plan-séquence survole ses oeuvres, ses attributs, ses sources d'inspriration et ses souvenirs. Les archives sont projetées en parallèle. Ils ramènent le peintre dans son atelier.
