PATRICK NEU - SALAMANDER COMPLEX (Directed by Stéphane Manchematin and Serge Steyer, 2014, 80m)

The French artist Patrick Neu lives in a remote island village to the north of the Vosges, far from all of the central focal points of the art world.

He creates his pieces slowly, with the patience and precision inherited from Flemish artists. He works with materials not often found in the world of art: bee wings, soot on glass, ink sculpture, butterfly wings, shed snakeskin, eggshells, painting on ashes. One day, the director of the prestigious Palais de Tokyo in Paris pays him a visit: after following his work for fifteen years, he wants to commission him with his first individual exhibition. Neu accepts, but on the condition that he will not have to change his methods in any way. The film follows him as he leaves the safety of his studio and prepares to produce his exhibition in Paris.
