Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy “builds elaborate installation pieces out of Mother Nature’s flotsam and jetsam in its own natural habitat (open fields, seashores, riverbanks). Goldsworthy spends hours altering the landscape or working his elemental materials into man-made paths and patterns of harmonious grace. A finished work can last for as long as a few days or as short as a minute before a light breeze or an eddying tide picks it apart like carrion... German documentarian Thomas Riedelshiemer’s affectionate, awestruck look at the man and his mission to tap into a frequency of symmetrical order in terra firma’s chaos is as hypnotically dazzling as his subject’s abstract expressionist products… A gorgeous, wide-screen, 35mm time capsule.”
