For the last few years, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have wrapped objects in German speaking landscapes in Europe. The first was “Wrapped Reichstag Berlin”. Their second “wrapping” created in December 1998, “Wrapped Trees”, was done for Foundation Beyeler Riehen/Basel, Switzerland - the border to Germany and France in Central Europe. This panorama by Axel Bauer of Wrapped Trees was created with a Russian FT-2 and Kodak T-max 400 speed film.
