In 1981 they realised The World of Gilbert & George, a feature film directed by themselves in which they play the leading role. From the late 1960s onwards they define themselves as ‘Living Sculptures’ and elevate every aspect of their lives to art. Ever since their studies, they have been working together as an artist duo. Gilbert & George meet at the Sint Martin’s School of Art in London. “We wanted to put everything we could think of, everything we knew, everything we dreaded, everything we hoped, everything we loved, everything in.”
