No Man's Land

"It’s the story of a guy who uses tyres to paint..." Frenchman Alain Penzes is a civil servant, an artist, an architect, a photographer, a teacher, a painter, and calligrapher... Behind this voracious appetite for activity is a simple, serene man, whose preferred mode of transport is a bicycle. This engaging character, which is heavily influenced by Zen philosophy, has turned his artistic attentions to the phenomenon of traces in urbanized society. Presenting extracts from the everyday life of a contemporary artist, No Man’s Land takes us into the private world of Alain Penzes. The film, which uses fictional storytelling techniques, invites us to reflect on contemporary art and on the place of the artist in our urban environment. No Man’s Land, a touching, deeply human film.
