The movie documents one year in the life of internationally acclaimed artist Francesco Vezzoli while he is preparing and making exhibitions in some of the world’s most prestigious art museums and institutions: MAXXI Museum in Rome, MoCA in Los Angeles, the Venice Architecture Biennale, Pitti Uomo fashion shows in Florence, Doha Qatar Museum of Modern Art, MoMA PS1 in New York and Aurora Museum in Shanghai.

Footage of exhibition makings will be blended with commentaries and anecdotes about the artist and his work by some of the most influential and interesting key players on the international art and cultural scene such as French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, W Magazine Director Stefano Tonchi, Los Angeles MoCA Director Philippe Vergne, MoMA PS1 Director and Chief Curator at Large at MoMA in New York Klaus Biesenbach and internationally renowned artist Cindy Sherman. The documentary is divided into recurring themes related to Vezzoli’s work and the different locations the exhibitions have taken place (Europe, Arab Emirates, United States and China).
Viewers will be lead through each project from the “concept” to the “making of” to the backstage of major events in the attempt to understand how Vezzoli has swiftly become a rising star beyond the global art scene.
