The wrapped Reichstag by Christo and Jean-Claude, to which the collage refers, is undoubtedly one of the world's most significant and impressive artworks in public space. Although the idea for this project originated in the early 1970s, it took more than two decades until, after years of controversial discussions, it was finally approved by the German Bundestag in 1994. The covering process itself, carried out by 90 climbers and 120 workers, was an important part of the artwork, which was on display for a fortnight in the summer of 1995 and can be interpreted as a symbol of new beginnings, freedom and democracy, especially after the reunification of Germany.
