Walking on Water

A decade 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. With uncensored access to Christo and his team, Walking on Water explores the process of building one of the largest artworks ever made and draws the portrait of a man who places visceral experience over demagogy. Against the backdrop of this epic madness – the complex dealings that merge between art and state politics, the engineering challenges, the logistical nightmares and the sheer force of nature, captured through aerial views and fly on the wall cameras, we watch the dream of an artist unfold and get to know the man chasing it – Christo.
