Sculpting This Earth

The movie documents the creation of 25 works by the famous land art artist Strijdom van der Merwe. Over the course of a year, the camera follows Strijdom as he wanders around the South African inland, searches for inspiration and subsequently begins his work. Spreading on the screen, there are beautiful sceneries of green valleys, lagoon shores or arid semideserts which Strijdom enriches with his ephemeral works. The artist draws attention to details that people normally don’t notice and puts natural motives into unusual context.

The screening is being held in cooperation with the Film and Architecture festival.
