Description
Public art reaches beyond usual and conversational notions of creation in this series of movies about the work of Christo and his partner, Jeanne-Claude. Internationally recognized for their temporary works of epic proportions, the couple is shown here as visionaries, passionate about their ideas, and fiercely motivated by the process of making them come to life.
These films capture Christo and Jeanne-Claude interacting with their work physically and emotionally. Public reaction is innocently captured through the careful documentation performed by the Mayseles. This is a special treat for anyone curious about the depth of human ingenuity.
