Of Indian and English ancestry, Anish Kapoor is one of the most iconic artists of our century. His work is based on the conjunction of opposing poles: from his contrasting influences between East and West, his work crosses the ancestral and the modern, nature and culture, sacred and profane, negative and positive. The film is a timeless visual conversation about art in the exceptional context of Rome, a city with an obscure past and guardian of a millenary tradition, where the artist presents a testimonial exhibition of his latest work: intimate, shocking and dialectical between terror and the sublime. It presents, confronts and explores the conditions of matter, the dynamics of perception and the power of ritual. "Under the Skin" invites us to dive into the dark and mysterious world of the artist for a vertiginous quest into existence.
