The Man Who Became Museum (2019)

Alif Issa is a Tunisian anarchist painter, multidisciplinary visual artist, he is 81 years old. Skinny and small, he hides his eyes behind the glasses and leans on his red wooden skin to balance his progress. He often wears costumes made by his own care, Ali Issa spends his days, painting portraits, landscapes, recovering objects, gleaned everywhere, to install them in his installations. He always looks at his old coils and slides that he wants to restore. In his lonely solitude, he surrounded himself with domestic animals: a ball and a rooster are installed in his garden, a cat and a dog live with him, as if to isolate his son. Ali Issa shares his meals with them, he talks to them, confides in them.
