Original Schtick / Schtick Happens

Aroview: A stranger-than-fiction documentary following American visual artist and egotistical maniac Robert (Bob) Fischer on a bizarre tour of Melbourne, which he spends fooling everybody he can with self-made myths, from gallery owners to sponsors to the media, with the entire trainwreck captured by director Maciej Wszelaki.

Schtick Happens (2002) is a follow-up detailing the conflict that ensued between Wszelaki and Fischer following the release of Original Schtick. Raises some fascinating questions about the selling and promotion of art, the fame that can result, and the challenges of representing a living subject.
