Pierre Commoy

Pierre's the photographer, Gilles is the painter. This video follows the pair of French artists for one year as they team to concoct their patented bizarre and beautiful imaginary world in pictures, often conflating gay, Hollywood, and religious iconography. They've attracted as models such international celebrities and stars as Michael Jackson, Nina Hagen, Madonna, Boy George, Mark Almond, Catherine Deneuve, Rupert Everett, Jean-Paul Gaultier, and Prince. Some critics dismiss their work as simply kitsch, while some of the world's top art galleries have held shows celebrating the duo's work.

Following Pierre and Gilles' the work process, from design and the choice of model, the shooting by Pierre and the painting of the photo by Gilles finishing with the hanging of the exhibition at a museum of contemporary art in Seoul. Through this documentary we discover the universe of the two plastic artists known worldwide for their very specific world.

Johan details the director's quest for an actor to play his titular lover, the real deal having been incarcerated just prior to shooting on charges of petty theft.
