DOCUMENTARY





 In 2001, director Thomas Riedelsheimer made Rivers And Tides with artist Andy Goldsworthy. Fans of the earlier film will be delighted to learn they have reunited for a further examination of Goldsworthy’s work, Leaning Into The Wind-Andy Goldsworthy.😊😊



Nearly everyone links the words ‘nature’ or ‘environment’ to Goldsworthy’s art, although he seems to find these associations unnecessary. Early in Leaning Into The Wind, Goldsworthy says, “Why even mention it? Nature is everywhere.”



To Goldsworthy, naature is a continual metaphor for the human condition. He connects to nature on a deeply personal level, both physically and spiritually. Goldsworthy uses natural products (leaves, petals, stones, twigs, snow, bark) to create his artworks. Many of these are ephemeral works, intended to return to the earth as part of its natural cycle.

Andy Goldsworthy is one of the few sculptors who have redefined the approach of creating fine artistic structures. Unlike most sculptors, who carve stones and use clay to create their imaginations, Andy’s works look more like a natural occurrence. At a first glance, one may find it difficult to believe that his works are ‘artificially created’. He often uses brightly coloured flowers, icicles, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, stone, twigs, and thorns. However, most of his work is temporary, which degrades over time. One such creation was the gigantic ‘Ice Snake’, which melted due to the heat. Though he has created very few pieces of art of great prominence, each one of them have been considered to be a masterpiece by many. Andy owes his love towards nature to his family, who introduced him to agriculture at a very tender age. Since then, he had the idea of creating sculptures using already existing elements of nature. Goldsworthy has presented his works at many art exhibitions, over a period of four decades. Few of these include ‘Hand to Earth—Sculpture 1976–90’, which was held at the Leeds City Art Gallery, and ‘Hard Earth’.



A documentary based on the life of Andy Goldsworthy was made in 2001. This celluloid adaptation of his life was titled ‘Rivers and Tides’. This film, which garnered critical acclaim, and even won many awards, was directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer.


" TOTAL CANTROL CAN BE 

THE DEATH OF WORK" 

-( Rivers And Tides, 20:51)

In the state of nature, liberty consists of being free from any superior power on Earth. People are not under the will or lawmaking authority of others but have only the law of nature for their rule. ... Freedom is constrained by laws in both the state of nature and political society




There are always an inevitable connection of human to nature, such as stones, land, sky, fire, water etc. The most interesting thing is  

" WHAT STUCK US?" When you working outside with nature we feel more protective and it is totally breathless. 

-( Rivers And Tides)

" There are moments which is extraordinary beautiful, and where the peace of work happens"

There are always these obsessive forms of  nature where you can not rid out of it. 


when we study this frame " The Man Made Wooden Structure"  firmly recalling the " This will fade away" with tide in river, " It's Destruction of Man Made form"  with the passage of time . 

" IT IS A MOMENT OF CYCLE IN TURNING CONCEPT OF DEATH  AND BIRTH AND DISTRUCTION OF LIFE WITH THE LAW OF NATURE"
-( Rivers And Tides)


This documentary is a crucially an effect with experiment and experience, Clarify the concept of " CHANGING OF TIME" and presents,
" Stones is Protective and I have very Powerful and Strong Connection with stones"-Rivers And Tides)

Rivers And Tides : Part 2

"THE KIND OF THE TREE, ENTRANCE A VISUAL ENTRANCE IN THE TREE, ON THE EARTH" -Rivers And Tides , 14:45)


The life pose and flows with time, from this frame of documentary the narrator want to present the huge branches of tree is a kind of universal or visual welcome. when we working though that sensational thighs the memories starts blinking, and memorization of people or particular event gives the new connection with new aspects the same way, narrator has recall of his memory and says,

"THE IMAGE OF SOMEBODY'S
 DYING BURNT IN YOUR MIND"
-Rivers And Tides)


"THE BLACKHOLE"

"My wife try to understand that the black is a absence, its indelible , it is in a context of relation between  work and self-realization of knowing that she will not come back to life"-Rivers And Tides, 15:50)

He may feel the presence and the universe is always about preserver of memory and also present the " TIMELESSNESS OF LIFE"  

Whatever was the situation which we are tend to be behave and connect with nature, this the very good experimented documentary with such metaphors and i like to connect serval ideas of nature with the mythical aspects of nature.

"RIVER"

" THE RIVER  HAVE UNPREDICTABALITY, OF THE LINES, RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME AND HAVING IT'S OWN CYCLE"  

Rivers And Tides, Video -2, 1;08)

The rivers have its own flow having its own cycle , genially the belief of river is firmly connected with RIBERTH,LIFE AND DEATH, PURIFICATI, LIFE GIVER. Mythically the river has very immense part of not only human but also the entire living world .



snake river mainly suggests the " PASSIONS FOR LIFE" for example snake river of  "IDAHO"


Many a times we may thought about the world is might made of without efforts? 

The Making of world is effortless? 


The very idea of death, distraction, fadedness take place when a human try to tend for making or resetting of the world in order to challenge or for as a gift as well.

 The making or connecting of universality with all available senses of resemblance, provides a unique way to look, portrayal the informality of nature with own efforts. 




what you can make static and what you can not control? 
 
The tendencies of nature separated and endowed with duality in things, duality in motions, duality in conditions and tradition. 

This frame gives the innumerable concept of flow to static. Itself it is a contradictory idea where the static stones holds the high flow of river. 


Here we go with the last frame of this documentary the last concept we can say that the ultimate idea which I learn from this documentary is the fadedness and shortness of life, internal death and just beauty of life and passions of efforts. the little living of the things creates a huge memory or huge impact of life, which we can see in the short story by O. HENRY- THE LAST LEAF. 


THANK YOU
