Magicien pluriculturel, esthète perfectionniste et ingénieur de l'impossible, le sculpteur Anish Kapoor aime les défis artistiques et techniques inédits, telle l'énorme structure gonflable avec laquelle il a investi le Grand Palais lors de l'exposition Monumenta 2011.

KAPOOR est né en Inde mais vit depuis les années 70 en Angleterre. C'est un artiste enchanteur : ses énormes miroirs capturent les nuages, ses miniatures en pigments sculptent la couleur monochrome et ses oeuvres murales nous attirent dans le vide du sublime. Ce film raconte le monde selon Kapoor, un voyage de ses ateliers de Londres aux installations permanentes de Chicago ou Naples ou aux expositions de Bilbao, Mumbai et Delhi; l'artiste parle en toute intimité de sa quête perpétuelle de formes nouvelles, toujours bouleversantes...

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO KAPOOR

A multicultural magician, an aesthetic perfectionist, and an engineer of the impossible, sculpto Anish Kapoor thrives on new artistic and technical challenges, such as his enormous inflatable structure with which he took over the Grand Palais in Paris at the MONUMENTA 2011 exhibition.

Kapoor, who was born in india but has lived in England since the 1970s, is an enchanting artist - is enormous mirrors capture the clouds, his pigment miniatures are sculptures of monochrome colour, and his wall hangings pull us into a sublime void.

This documentary recounts the world according to Kapoor, via a journey, from his London studios to the permanent installations of Chicago and Naples, to exhibitions in Bilbao, Mumbai and Delhi. Thes artist is given the opportunity to talk personnally about his perpertual quest for new forms, wich are always deeply moving.
