With unprecedented access to the pioneering Uruguayan sculptor's body of work, Michael Gregory's documentary is the first comprehensive study of this prolific artist's legacy. Eschewing the tropes of the typical artist bio pic, the film is process-oriented; with extraordinary archival footage, expert interviews and thoughtful analysis of Fonseca's work, it conveys the passions which drove this truly renaissance man to work and live life on his own terms.
Membra Disjecta: Gonzalo Fonseca and the Heart of Stone is a documentary portrait of an artist who embodied the entire history of world art - and an artist who history has all but forgotten.
