Synopsis

'Free' is an extraordinary journey through New York City as seen through the eyes of Konstantin Bokov - who uses for over 35 years the city's trash and refuse as raw materials for his art. Improvised open-air galleries in public places are his preferred means of displaying his so-called 'recycling art'. He welcomes admirers of his work to take possession of them for free, and some people become avid collectors.
