Reichstag Wrapped

Reichstag Wrapped refers to an art installation created by the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1995, where the Reichstag building in Berlin, Germany, was completely wrapped in fabric. This temporary artwork aimed to draw attention to the building’s historical significance and spark discussions about political power and democracy. The wrapping transformed the iconic structure into a monumental piece of art, encouraging visitors to experience it in a new way. The project reflects the artists' belief in the transformative power of art and their approach to engaging with architectural and urban spaces.
