wrapping art

Wrapping art refers to art that transforms everyday objects or spaces by enveloping them with fabric, paper, or other materials, creating an immersive visual experience. This artistic practice often aims to alter perceptions of familiar surroundings, inviting viewers to engage with their environment in new ways. A notable example is Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s large-scale installations, where they draped buildings or landscapes in fabric. Wrapping art challenges traditional notions of art by blurring the lines between art and the environment, encouraging dialogue about space, aesthetics, and the essence of objects in our lives.
