approaching Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s version of the Arc de Triomphe – wrapped in shimmery blue and silver fabric and red rope 
geometric yet with fluid lines, statuesque but seemingly light 
changing light 
bright sunshine casting harsh shadows – making it look like a rendering 
oh look – an Eiffel tower 
precision project 
around the wrapped Arc de Triomphe 
an elephant or a Trojan horse? 
lightness and solidity of form 
glittery heavy-duty fabric 
sharp angles and high contrast 
corners jutting out into the blue sky 
aluminum draped like curtains 
close-up of the fabric 
wrapped like a birthday present 
alu sprayed onto blue fabric 
inside the Arc de Triomphe 
Eiffel tower in the background
