Featuring detailed interviews with the artist-and with longtime associates, including composer Philip Glass and master rigger Ernst Fuchs-the film supports visual analysis of The Matter of Time at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao as well as pieces installed in Berlin, Hamburg, New York, San Francisco, and many other cities.
