Erik van Lieshout in zijn atelier. Still uit zijn film "Janus", 2012.
"Through a series of monologues filmed in the artist’s studio that are set against an investigation into the life a deceased man called Janus, van Lieshout questions his role as an artist and addresses the reduction of arts grants in his film Janus. Van Lieshout (born 1968) had bought the contents of Janus’ house after his death and interviews family and friends living in the surrounding working-class area of Rotterdam-Zuid. The footage of Janus’ environment is also interlaced with fragments of an interview between van Lieshout and actor Marien Jongewaard where he focuses on his own self-image as an artist against a backdrop of economic crisis."
