Christo and Jeanne-Claude


Ever heard of Christo and Jeanne-Claude? They are the ones who projected beautiful wrappings all over the world. Christo was born in Bulgaria and has studied at Fine Arts Academy, Sofia, Bulgaria. Jeanne-Claude is french and is baccalaureate in Latin and Philosophy in University of Tunis.

Here you can see pictures of some of their projects, such as The Gates, built at Central Park, NY some Wrapped Trees and the Wrapped Reichstag, in Berlin.
Their work is filled with symbolism, beauty and, yet, simplicity. It makes us rethink about the real meaning of buildings, islands or even trees. It is a certain must-see for all of us.
