Bobsleighing in the summer is, of course, not really a very good idea, yet Daniel Zimmerman manages to do it. On a summer Alpen meadow, he patiently constructs a track of about ten thousand wooden slats. Thanks to the stop motion technique, his camera takes us on a thundrering journey through the mountain landscape. The soundtrack provides an olympic atmosphere. With a flashy parody of the ride film to boot. And a curious example of land art.
