"Rivers And Tides" - By Thomas Riedelsheimer, 2001/2003, DVD

An excellent documentary about Andy Goldsworthy, a sculptor who uses rocks, water, driftwood, snow and other elements of nature to create ephemeral art.

You don't need to be a fan of modern art to enjoy this. You just need to enjoy astonishingly lovely photography. It includes the best thorn-and-leaf water snake you'll ever see. The ice snake isn't at all bad either.
