Cave Art in 3d

Herzog explores the Chauvet Cave with his crew, a cavern in France that contains the earliest known cave paintings, making it what Herzog believes to be the “birthplace of the human soul.”
What is striking about the paintings in the Chauvet Cave is that the artists used the natural contours of the walls of the caves to complement their work. Herzog uses 3D as a tool to make this apparent, thus making this journey into art’s primordial ooze all the more interesting to see. Video
