Wrapped chapel by zoo_m

Wrapped chapel

40 / 365
My first thought when I saw this place was "Christo is back" (with regard to the artist, not the subject). Christo and Jean-Claude were a married couple who created environmental works of art, including the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont-Neuf bridge in Paris (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo). In deed this chapel is under construction and will be renovated.

UPDATE: I now figured out that the wrapping was neccessary to apply a pesticide to the timber framing which was infected by beetles.

:D My first thoughts were the same! But it isn't less art to me, even if it's done by contractors :) Love it!

Hello and greetings from Edmonton, AB in Canada. I love this shot. It will be interesting to see the church when the work is done.

I thought of the artist too when I saw your photo ! I've never seen a whole building wrapped up like that before renovations are being undertaken. Looks very efficient !

Thanks a lot. It's really fantastic to have the possibility to share such finds with such a kind community.

@bkbinthecity I've never seen a wrapping like this before but will have a look at this church. As soon as it is unwrapped I will post a pic of the newborn chapel :)
