Comparing the two documentaries

In our theoretical issues class, two different documentaries were introduced, Manufactured Landscapes & Running Fence, the first one was done by Edward Burtynsky, the second was done by Christo & Jenn-Claude.
In my point of view the work of Edward is completely different than Christo’s , Edwards work was adopting the idea of creating great Polaroid images out of rubbish and things that means nothing, on the other hand Christo’s created new things from his imagination and inspiration, he made a fence that was new work which didn’t exist .
In the end I can say that both of them have created his work in his own style and way with his own inspiration, and I think both of them succeeded in a way that made them unique.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude (Movie)

Christo and Jeanne-Claude is a movie that we have watched in the class. This movie was about an installation that Christo and Jeanne-Claude did. The installation was really amazing. How they have done it in few days just to stand there for couple of days it took them a really big effort to do it they had help from so many people just to make it work properly they have also extended their installation in the sea it looked really nice that was my best part in the movie. They have suffered just to get the approval. In the end it looked wonderful and I loved the looking of the sun through the fabric.

Manufacture Landscapes (Movie)

In our last class we watched a movie called Manufacture Landscapes it was produced by Jenifer Bachwal. Jenifer does art from the nature and she gets her inspiration from it. This movie was really touch full and interesting in the same time. It kept rolling and rolling in my mind I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I couldn’t forget the faces of the people in the movie and how they were suffering. It made me open my eyes and think wider it really affected my life in a positive way that made me think about every little thing around me. In a fact of reality it was impressive.
