synopsis
Wegman's World reveals the secrets of how renowned artist William Wegman creates his funny and offbeat portraits of Weimaraner dogs in human situations and clothes. The animals each have distinct behavioral characteristics, yet the general expression on the breed's face allows people to project human emotions onto the dogs. Wegman's posing of the dogs reinforces this tendency. This program features footage at Wegman's summer house in the remote forests of Maine, where he undertakes photo sessions with his four dogs: Batty, Crooky, Chundo, and Chip. He lovingly coaxes the dogs into clothes, onto boats, and up rocky cliffs.
