Research information
The work documents the 1983 installation "The Islands" by Christo and Jean-Claude, presented in Biscayne Bay near Miami, Florida. The project features 11 artificial islands, surrounded by a floating pink-orange polypropylene material, which emphasizes their shapes and turns them into part of the artistic composition.
