As much as Goldsworthy is a sculptor, he is also a rigorous photo archivist. Riedelsheimer’s camera captures the initiation, the peak, and the disintegration of this process. He keeps unsettling the dust and playing with the ray of light till the light and the dust are indistinguishable from one another. In the Brazilian hut, the artist sees a little circle of sunlight on the mud floor and traces the ray of light to a hole in the ceiling his hands unsettle the dust, as it goes on to draw shifting shapes against this sliver of light.

It is an innate connection that he detects, acknowledges, and strengthens through his art. When, in one scene, he enters a mud hut in Rio de Janeiro, he feels the presence of the people who have been there before him. His artistic journey is an exploration of the inherent connectedness binding people, places, and the environment. Very early on in director Thomas Riedelsheimer’s new film Leaning into the Wind, his second about the artist (after Rivers and Tides, 2001), Goldsworthy says, “Why even mention it? Nature is everywhere.” For him, the boundaries between nature and self are disappearing fast and that is the basic philosophy behind every piece of art he creates.
