The Cardboard Bernini movie sceneThe 2012 documentary film The Cardboard Bernini examines the life and work of American sculptor and artist James Grashow, who is especially known for his sculptures and large-scale installations made of cardboard.

The Cardboard Bernini follows Grashow as he spends five years building a giant cardboard fountain inspired by the Trevi Fountain in Rome and the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, with the intention of putting it outside to dissolve.

Propelled by a one crucial event documented in the film, Grashow is driven to experience the process of creation and loss by making an extraordinary artwork that will be destroyed in the end. This film follows Grashow’s journey, as he questions life’s fragility and the artistic process. The completed fountain premiered indoors on June 11, 2010 at the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke, Virginia to great acclaim.

Directed by Olympia Stone, the unrated film was screened at the New Hampshire Film Festival and the Santa Fe International Film Festival in 2012.
