Project Cancer

The camera follows Ulay, a radical conceptual artist from Amsterdam, for a whole year. Ulay was a pioneer of body art, performance art and polaroid art; he was a transvestite, a half man - half woman, a social activist…, but he is most famous for his long year collaboration with Marina Abramović and their performances that have achieved iconic status. In 2009, Ulay moved to Ljubljana. When talks and plans on the film were already under way, Ulay was diagnosed with cancer, and all plans changed. He decided to visit his friends around the world and the camera followed him on this so called farewell journey.
