check out this first trailer for "Christo - Walking on Water"
Walking on Water follows internationally renowned environmental artist - and Paounov's fellow countryman - Christo on his quest to realize "The Floating Piers," originally conceived in 1970 by Christo and his late wife and collaborator, Jeanne-Claude. In 2016, seven years after Jeanne-Claude's death, this stunning, site-specific masterpiece - which allows visitors to walk across a great stretch of water, buoyed by polyethylene cubes draped in luminous yellow fabric - was finally cleared to be mounted on Italy's Lake Iseo, which lies at the foot of the Alps. But securing a location proved to be only the first step in a tumultuous process of creative problem solving and prickly negotiations.
Not one to suffer fools, Christo is a larger-than-life personality. Now in his eighties, he has lost none of his feistiness or self-possession. His director of operations (and nephew) Vladimir Yavachev is likewise a lion, helping Christo contend with bad weather, overcrowding, and maddening bureaucracy.
Walking on Water gives us a rare look into the business of large-scale art production - and the sort of temperament required to bestow unto the world something that feels close to a miracle.
