Walking on Water

Synopsis

In 2016, seven years after Jeanne-Claude’s death, this stunning, site-specific masterpiece 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. Making the situation all the more fraught, Christo’s intensity level – already turned up to the max during the initial planning stages – only climbs higher as the challenges mount.
