We had screening of a documentary " Rivers and Tides" by Andy Goldsworthy at Dept of English, MKBU. "Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy working with Times" is the most spiritually literate documentary. It won the Golden Gate Award Grand Prize for Best Documentary at the 2003 San Francisco International Film Festival.
It is such a wonderful documentary about nature and its art. Andy Goldsworthy used wind and water to create art, he did not use any kind of readymade materials or tools to make art but he used nature itself as tool. He also recorded time with art that how natural art keep on destroying and creating with the passes of time. There are many things like: iron oxide chalk, raw sheep’s wool, flower blossoms, leaves and grass, feathers, random sticks and stones, broken rocks, pieces of icicle, green iris blades and red berries, thorns, bracken, or handfuls of snow through which he makes very wonderful piece of art, there is nothing like canvases or paint brush or any kind of readymade colors.
There are many great artists across the world but after watching this documentary we come to know that that is only skill that artist draw or sketch but the real art is when it has some kind of philosophy. So, Andy Goldsworthy's documentary considered as great piece of art because of the deep philosophy behind the art. That everything is mortal in the nature. And also many lesson we can learn from this documentary that never give up, do not worry about failure in the life, work hard one day you will be success.
Here some pictures which Goldsworthy created in the leap of nature with natural things.
