Pipe Dream - De strandbeesten van Theo Jansen
S18 - E1 • 53 min
Theo Jansen created his first beach animal, a complex structure made of PVC pipes that somewhat resembled an animal skeleton. Two decades later, Jansen is still perfecting his beach animals, where the way they move across the beach, set in motion by the wind, is crucial. This documentary shows Jansen at work in his studio, on the beach, and in his ocean-view apartment.
