Christo and Jeanne-Claude are a married couple who have been collaborating together for over fourty years. There works are large scale, temporary installations and are best known for producing enormous packaging projects such as wrapping parks, buildings, and entire outdoor landscapes. There works “momentarily intervene in the local population’s daily rhythm in order to create "gentle disturbances" intended to refocus citizens' impressions” - Christo. Most of there works take years to plan and organise with the enormous effort and teamwork required for the actual installations.
