David Henry Nobody Junior is an immersionist/performance artist based out of NYC. This film examines his art form known as "Resemblage" which entails his use of body paint, found objects, motorized toys, etc., that he applies to his own body, creating bizarre and sometimes disturbing images that reflect his feelings toward capitalism and the dark side of american culture. The film also delves into his process behind the scenes as well as examining who he is in relation to his art, and why expressing himself in this manner is what keeps him sane in an insane world.
René Alvarez Mäkelä is a Spanish artist that lives and works in Palma de Mallorca, in his Santa Catalina studio.

Steve Joester is a British born award winning photographer & mixed media artist, now working and living in New York City. Joester was a leading rock & roll photographer in the 70's and 80's.

His iconic images of the greatest rock performers, Bob Marley, The Stones, Neil Young, The Clash, Queen, Pink Floyd and many more rock giants have appeared on album sleeves, posters, in exhibitions and leading magazines around the world.
