DIFF 2010 - Over your cities grass will grow

An interesting documentary on art as a work of permanence yet impermanent against nature. Though most of the review would be like a curation of the art, it is better critiqued from the point of view of a film.
An interesting yet difficult documentary making exercise, considering it was a showcase of still life (the artist in focus uses spaces and defunct material to create installations). Yet the technique used is entertaining and beyond the first 15 minutes, there is a fun in watching the artist create his art. The artists insights are an interesting juxtaposition, though this would have been better enjoyed as installations in an art gallery. The type of art being showcased deserved a walk through the spatial existence rather than watching a camera pan it.
