Summary :
Ultra Violet, the former pop art icon, encounters Andy WARHOL’s ghost. Reality or fiction ? Ultra Violet talks to Andy, and we follow them into a puzzling trip through various cyber worlds : the streets of New York, the Factory. From Pop Art and Underground circles to the day when Andy was shot, via the life story of Isabelle DUFRESNE, who chose to call herself Ultra Violet. This philosophic cyber-tale is a dense overview of WARHOL’s little New York world in the psychedelic Sixties and Seventies, seen today through Ultra Violet’s eyes.
