Bande-annonce
L’Américain Robert Janz (1932 – 2021) fait de l’art cinétique et éphémère depuis plus de cinq décennies. Il compose avec l’environnement naturel et urbain, expose dans les plus prestigieuses galeries d’art et de grands musées. Le film déroule le fil de son parcours alors qu’il atteint l’âge de 80 ans et commence à faire des graffitis à New York. Le film montre un artiste qui a travaillé la sculpture et la peinture, pratiqué la performance et l’installation en se détournant à plusieurs reprises d’une carrière bien rangée pour suivre son engagement dans l’éphémère. En explorant les thèmes de flux, de changement et de spontanéité, Janz in the Moment devient un poème de la vie urbaine et une célébration de la créativité elle-même.
