Description
From 1997 Documentary Oscar winner Jessica Yu (Breathing Lessons: The Life and Work of Mark O'Brien) comes In the Realms of the Unreal, the astounding tale of Henry Darger. An orphaned recluse who lived out his life of menial labor in a one-room downtown Chicago apartment, Darger was a social non-entity. So little remarked was he in life that only three photographs of him are known to exist. The amazing secret at the center of Darger's existence only emerged when ill health forced him to abandon his one-room apartment of 40 years a few months before his death in 1973. What the landlord found launched an "outsider art" sensation that has fascinated and inspired millions.
