Walking on Water
Engaging portrait of ‘landscape artist’ Christo and his megalomaniac project The Floating Piers.
Ten years after 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. Documented with uncensored access to Christo and his team, Walking on Water is a cinema verite look into the process and personal relationships of the world’s biggest installation artist. The film takes the viewer on an intimate journey into Christo’s world, unmediated by interviews, voice overs or reenactments, drawing the portrait of a man who deliberately places visceral experience over demagogy.
And yet, this intimate portrait of a man chasing a dream happens on the backdrop of the epic madness of it all — the complex dealings that merge between art and state politics, engineering challenges and logistical nightmares, and the sheer force of nature, captured through breathtaking aerial views and fly on the wall cameras. So, as we watch the dream unfold, we get to know the man chasing it — Christo.
