Christo and Jeanne-Claude

1995

(58 min.)

Christo and Jeanne-Claude met to Paris in 1958, and from then began an extraordinary artistic adventure that led to them to create together a series of spectacular public artworks in multiple parts of the world that reached its zenith with the wrapping of the German Parliament, the Reichstag, to Berlin in June 1995. For the 1968 edition of Festival dei Due Mondi Spoleto they wrapped the fountain in Piazza del Mercato and the watchtower near the Ponte delle Torri, the medieval aqueduct that runs from the historic center to to Monteluco. This film reviews Their most important projects since 1958, including Wrapped Coast (Australia, 1969); Valley Curtain(Colorado, 1972); Running Fence (California, 1976); Surrounded Islands (Miami, 1982); Pont Neuf (Paris, 1985); Umbrellas for Japan and California (1992); and Wrapped Reichstag (Berlin, 1995).
