Christo – Walking On Water (2018)

Christo – Walking On Water: Directed by Andrey Paounov. With Christo. An uncensored look into the artistic process and personal relationships of Christo, an artist known for his large-scale installations. For the first time since the passing of his wife and partner, Jeanne-Claude, Christo sets out to realize, The Floating Piers, a project they conceived together many years before.

“It is a Documentary on u0026#39;The Floating Piersu0026#39; project by Christo — his first public project after Christou0026#39;s wife Jeanne-Claude had died.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn Land-Art terms, art curatoru0026#39;s speak, the Floating Piers were an u0026#39;on-siteu0026#39; installation attracting a great many visitors — on opening day alone some 270,000 visitors : And that did cause massive problems : too many people. That is an issue the documentary details, tells about without judgment, without commenting, how Christo and his crew had to deal with it, how it all came about from first design/layout steps till de-installation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a documentary that provides neither interpretation nor big-headed, hyper-intellectual sounding phrases about art, Christo, or the work — the transitory on-site LandArt — itself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHighly recommended. Quite refreshing — a must for an Christo fan and/or LandArt enthusiast.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enscapes me how this could be categorized as u0026#39;Comedyu0026#39;, or u0026#39;Adventureu0026#39;nitu0026#39;s neither”
