The idea to make a documentary on FDC was born from the desire to investigate deeply the motivations and philosophy behind his artworks. His Open Air Museum is a symbol of his openness on different levels: the artist reveals himself to the world and his artworks are revealed to the public. Beyond this, it is a gallery of open air “images” that offer moments of profound reflection in a context generally not used for this purpose: the street.
In this documentary FDC presents himself on an artistic and personal level. Through improvised performances created from raw material that only the artist can imagine as art. FDC works with living sculpture, and is inspired by an external and unpredictable present that might include his own character and that of visitors and passersby. But his is also a journey among recycled objects and scrap materials where ironic and informal art goes beyond appearances and becomes social critique or example, paradox or “boutade”. Delle Chiaie has created his own space in the eternal city and offers a very particular visit to those who pass by. A special relationship with Rome of which FDC tells of its various aspects . The relationship between an artist and his “art”.
