Modern art seems to be the topic du jour and in this film acclaimed sculptor Antony Gormley is the subject matter.
We get to see how he prepares for a major exhibition.
Last time Antony was in the headlines was for his One And Other project which saw the public grab their 15 minutes of fame.
This film shows the artist preparing for a major exhibition at The Hayward gallery. We get to see an up close and personal picture of an artist at work.
Antony's hunger for increasingly ambitious work is evident, as we see him casting moulds from his own body to form part of his installation for the exhibition.
There's also his Blind Light piece which he describes as a 'Cloud in a box'. The concept is that the public walk into a vapour and light-filled room.
But it is the creating of this spectacle that is the focus of the film, and we get to see how complicated his ambitions really are.
There's no disputing that the finished results are amazing.
