Plot Summary:In February, 2005, artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude installed 7,500 arches (gates), curtained with orange cloth that waved and billowed and decked miles of walkways in Central Park. The gates stood for 16 days, the first unfurled by Mayor Bloomberg, who championed the project, giving it the okay after the artists' 25-year quest to gain approval. Archival footage shows pro-and-con debates and various mayors and commissions turning down the project. By the end, the gates installed, the camera travels a winter landscape, orange shining through trees and reflected in ponds. Passers-by, quintessential New Yorkers, express pleasure. Art dwarfs the nay-sayers.
来自HBO的纪录片。2005年2月,艺术家克里斯托和珍妮克洛德安装了7500个拱门(门),并挂上橙色的帘子,向中央公园来往的行人招手。拱门放置了16天,这一创举首先是由市长布隆伯格提出的,经过艺术家们25年的讨论才最终得以通过。影视资料显示委员会和各市市长都通过了这个项目。大门被安装后,橙色的光交织在树丛里,倒映在湖面上,构成了冬季的一个美丽景观。路过的纽约市民看到后都显得很高兴。是艺术创造了这样的奇景。
