The Ten Commandments of Creativity

Photos by Stefan Jonas and Lars Hinsenhofen

"Imitation is the sincerest form of plagiarism," proclaims actor Dennis Hopper. Having struggled to crack his brief, he decides the only honorable act is to throw himself off a roof. But before he can complete this final act, Sir Peter Ustinov appears and bestows the Ten Commandments of Creativity upon the desperate advertising executive (played by Hopper) which become a template to navigate the state of creativity.

Featuring: David Bowie, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Jeff Koons, Sean Penn, and Malcolm McLaren.
