Wild Gene plot

For six years, filmmaker Joris Gijsen followed the artist Koen Vanmechelen on his work trips all over the world. Koen is one of the most prominent Belgian artists of the last decade. Typically, the philosophy behind his works constantly propels him across just about all continents. He leaves behind a multitude of projects and works that are all linked to each other and that come together in Labiomista, Vanmechelen's new studio in Genk. The documentary shows how the artist continuously broadens his philosophical foundation through remarkable contacts with scientists such as Jean-Jacques Cassiman, architect Mario Botta, international curators, thinkers and indigenous peoples.
