An ecstatic biopic about the world's most successful living painter. In vivid images, this AI hybrid film sheds light on the social role of painting in the tension between creativity, capital investment, and spirituality. We are currently in the transition phase from analog to artificial reproducibility. Gerhard's unique painting techniques, especially squeegeeing, have triggered worldwide hype. His techniques and ideas are being adapted, refined, and improved by global “protagonists” and then flooded the markets and social media. The myth of the “genius” writes itself into the DNA of an increasingly uncontrollable creation chain as a fabulous and controversial homage.
