Visiting Christo + Jeanne-Claude

L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped

2021

Paris

In September 2021, Paris witnessed one of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s most ambitious works: the wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe. The monument was transformed with 30,000 square meters of silvery-blue recyclable fabric and 7,000 meters of vivid red rope.
Rosa had the chance to experience the project in person. Early in the morning, she could walk around and discover its surface and drapes from every side. The textile material transforms architecture and empowers space through its play with light.
