The documentary is intended to tell a really extraordinary and little known story outside the specialized circles: the personal and creative journey of Angel Marcos.

He was born in 1955 in Medina del Campo (Valladolid), in the middle of the postwar period and very far from the culture and the art world. Despite this, he forged himself from nothing, he has managed to position himself as one of the most prestigious and renowned artists in the international scene.

The creative work of Angel Marcos began in 1992 although it did not begin to really settle until five years later with the series Landscapes. After that a constant creative work that has also evolved continuously to the present.

Angel Marcos has a very strong relationship with his homeland and is also a tireless traveler around the world. His work is located in diverse and distant places as Spain, Cuba, China, Senegal or Las Vegas. This creative work has had repercussion and international success, being present in recognized cultural centers such as the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Maison Européene de la Photographie in Paris or the Rockefeller Center in New York.

In these two videos, related to his project Lizard´s Tale, Planning and strategy, you can get a little closer to the philosophy and personal and artistic approaches of Angel Marcos.

Around the Dream is not a biographical documentary (although some essential references will be included), but rather aims to focus on the cultural and creative area. It is about collecting, explaining and diffusing that personal and creative evolution of the author outside the professional circles. For this we will have the testimony of the artist himself and also of several prestigious and recognized specialists in the art world.
