This weekend I went to 'Big Air Package' by Christo in the Gasometer in Oberhausen, Germany. Years back in high school I wrote a report in art history class about him.
I am intrigued by his big projects, they invite you to perceive a normal environment from a different perspective: They make me feel little and vulnerable, but this vulnerability is also applicable to the object itself.
I like that Christo and Jeanne-Claude (His wife, unfortunately she passed away in 2009) organise these big projects with a large group of people and continue no matter how many difficulties they come across.
