Deux jeunes artistes au chômage
Cyrille Martinez

Andy and John, two proverbial starving young artists, live in New York New York. The unveilings and poetry readings they attend, as well as their eccentricity in dress add up to the portrait of an underground city where performance art, drugs and parties set the rhythm of the lives of these marginal but creative characters. You’ll recognize a reinvented image of Andy Warhol and John Giorno, the only actor in the film Sleep, in the shadow cast by these two figures in search of an art form that would be the truest possible reflection of modern life, 
Thanks to an inventive and satirical tone, Cyrille Martinez’s narrative recreates a light-hearted adventure; which if you listen carefully, is interwoven with reflections on the future of art and literature in an increasingly commercial world.
