Art Hard

SYNOPSIS

Land artist Jim Denevan journeys to Lake Baikal in southwestern Siberia with one mission: to create the world's largest work of art.

Atop nine square miles of ice, he and his crew face off against the elements and their own emotional breaking points, hoping to carve their places into the lake's storied and sacred history.

As funny as it is dramatic, Art Hard is a visually stunning portrait about a man's artistic process, his comedic nature, his struggle to stay sane, and the people who help him do so.

Denevan's Siberian project was commissioned by the Anthropologist, an online space that supports the work of inspiring individuals. The Anthropologist is a creation of the people behind Anthropologie. Learn more at theanthropologist.net.
