Slowing time down and creating obstacles to work through are central to Jeff Wall's working process. We have a rare opportunity to witness this in a film that follows the creation of two cinematically realized painterly photographs, Spring Snow and Woman with a Covered Tray. As Jeff Wall's former designer and production manager, Lu Nelson had unfettered access to the artist. Parallel to Wall's process, the creation of this documentary over a lengthy period of time has produced a thoughtful, in-depth portrait of one of Canada's most interesting and internationally acclaimed contemporary artists.
Director: Lu Nelson
Producer: Elizabeth Yake
