Christo & Jeanne-Claude sind weltweit für ihre 'Verhüllungsprojekte' bekannt. 'For Over the River, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's vision is to suspend eight separate areas of fabric panels that highlight the contours of the river banks. Seen from underneath, the translucent fabric panels will enhance the contrast of the clouds, mountains and vegetation. These waves of fabric will play off the natural light throughout the day, transitioning from shimmering pink in the morning light, to shiny silver in the mid-day sun, to golden as the sun sets.'
