Earlier this month, Austrian filmmaker Alex Klim decided to spend his first day off in a long time in the desert, shooting footage of the recently installed “East-West” permanent art installation. The short video he produced of the trip has already been viewed 5,000 times online.
The Qatar resident and a friend took a 4:30am trip to Zekreet (to avoid the heat) to check out the massive collection of steel structures produced by renowned American artist Richard Serra.
Speaking to Doha News, Klim explained his first impression of the artwork, which was commissioned by the Qatar Museums Authority:
“They are huger than expected and placed very far from each other. I like the unique look and feel of the west coast landscape, the rocks itself are fascinating and with the sculptures it kind of gives it this special touch, like you’re in a different world.”
