THE WORLD OF GILBERT AND GEORGE

Director Gilbert & George / 1981 / UK

Internationally-known performing artists, Gilbert & George, have produced their first film. Since 1968, they have worked as sculptors, making living sculptures, photo-pieces. drawings, paintings, video-sculptures, books and so on. In the film, they reveal their hopes, feelings, thoughts, views and aesthetics to give a damning and hopeful picture of the world.

This is a controversial work which touches on today's British political scene. Gilbert & George seem to endorse the past values of British life and compare these with those expressed by a selection of young, handsome and punkily-dressed boys.
