Gursky World

About This Movie

So, Gursky World, right? It’s a rather quirky little documentary that delves into the mind of Andreas Gursky through the lens of Ben Lewis. The film’s got this playful, almost cheeky vibe, blending art and comedy in a way that feels fresh for a documentary. It's filled with clever sketches like the ‘Is it Gursky? in Reading’ and explores languages, which adds this charming layer of absurdity. The pacing is just right, keeping you engaged without feeling rushed, and the practical effects, while minimal, serve to enhance the overall experience. It’s a unique exploration of art that doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of art documentaries.

Gursky World remains a bit of a hidden gem in the documentary scene. Its availability is limited; it’s not exactly mainstream, which has piqued the interest of collectors looking for something different in their art documentary lineup. Various formats have come and gone, making original copies somewhat scarce. If you come across it, there's a certain value in its eccentricity and the way it captures the spirit of the early 2000s art scene.
