Slightly Unidentified Wrapped Objects

I worked for an artist for a while who had been the producer for Christo’s curtain piece on the California coast. Going through those files I came across endless photo’s or photo collages of wrapped objects from buildings to chairs. The act of wrapping or coming across something wrapped in our day to day life is such an interesting example of taking something that is known, that we can clearly identify and giving it a little bit of mystery. We still for the most part are likely to be able to identify the object but its suddenly become other. From gifts, to art to people wrapping allows us to take the familiar personal and understandable and make it universal and other.
