Directed by Christophe Fonseca and produced by Les Films de L'Odyssée, in collaboration with Fondation CHU Teh-Chun, the 80-minute documentary reveals the artist’s unique style through a combination of creative staging, dreamlike landscapes, artworks and archive images, interspersed with previously unpublished quotes and conversations.
“My mother and I decided to participate in the making of this documentary to pay homage to my father and to highlight his work," explains Yvon Chu, the artist’s son and Vice-President of Fondation CHU Teh-Chun. "The aim of our foundation is to promote the work and history of this remarkable and multi-talented Franco-Chinese artist, and this is the first time that a film encompasses both his personal and artistic career."
