Internationally acclaimed Toronto photographer Arnaud Maggs is one of Canada’s most esteemed living artists. In the film, produced by Toronto filmmaker Annette Mangaard, Maggs discusses his decision to become a visual artist at the age of 47 and abandon his early career success as a graphic designer and fashion photographer. He also touches on the motivation of his own mortality, an inevitability that keeps him working both to consolidate his massive body of work and to continue the search for fresh ideas. Meticulous and courageous in his approach, Maggs creates art that speaks of the universality of the human experience. (50 minutes, 2002)
