Working on the scaffolding -Reichstag im Negligé (stills)

Jef Lambrecht made an extensive video-reportage on the wrapping of the Reichstag in 1995 – not only the work itself but also the surroundings, the atmosphere and various views of the area, then still a barren post-wall 'area of potentiatities' – as well as most of the press conference with Christo & Jeanne-Claude.

Here are some screenshots taken from the analog (VHS) version – length 2 hrs 36 min.

 

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
