This BAFTA, Royal Television Society Best Arts Film and FIFA Grand Prize award-winning film enters the world of Britain’s most eccentric, celebrated and controversial artistic double act in which life and art are inextricably linked. The film explores their history from their student days at St. Martin’s in the late sixties to their early success as living sculptures, their postal art and drinking works to their large scale pictures, following the unique creative process of their “Fundamental Pictures” depicting their own bodily fluids. We see their daily life at home in Fournier Street, around the East End where they perform unique performances for camera with specially painted faces, in Bologna for a full retrospective of their work and a relationship between two special artists who know how to combine their charm with extraordinary performance. The producer Gerald Fox presents a portrait of two individuals who revolutionized the art scene in a very special way.
