Despite their notoriety, Gilbert & George have always been reluctant to speak publicly, and have only occasionally published manifestos or given interviews. However, over the last ten years they have developed a close friendship with the Paris-based author and critic, Francois Jonquet, and have held with him a long series of interviews in which they have been willing to talk more candidly than ever before about their lives, their work, their feelings and motives, and their reaction to the many controversies they have generated. Gilbert & George: Intimate Conversations is a distillation of all these conversations, and it presents a portrait of the artists which has never before been revealed to the public.
