Werner Herzog

Filmmaker Werner Herzog, best known for big-screen features (1982’s Fitzcarraldo) and documentaries (2005’s Grizzly Man), discusses his piece in this year’s Whitney Biennial and opines on contemporary art with the show’s cocurators, Elisabeth Sussman and Jay Sanders. Titled Hearsay of the Soul, Herzog’s video installation slowly pans across Dutch artist Hercules Segers’s landscapes while a soothing soundtrack plays.
