Video Exhibitions Interview Gus Van Sant

"I was partially influenced by the New York underground filmmaking scene, mostly by painters. I was scratching and painting on films, making experimental pieces, until I went to an Art School for painting, but then also decided to work in film at that time." Gus Van Sant

The exhibition Gus Van Sant/Icons proposes the first Swiss retrospective of the films and artistic creations of the American filmmaker. A genuine multi-disciplinary journey, it is divided into five sections, each in turn exploring an aspect of Gus Van Sant’s creative force and outlining the contours of a bountiful and impertinent universe.

Exhibition

The Gus Van Sant exhibition was presented at Photo Elysée from October 25, 2017, to January 7, 2018.
