The creation of an experience in a particular environment.
A form of art, developed in the late 1950s.
“Do you know that I don’t have any artworks that exist? They all go away when they’re finished. Only the preparatory drawings, and collages are left, giving my works an almost legendary character. I think it takes much greater courage to create things to be gone than to create things that will remain.”
— Christo

It’s usually a large-scale, mixed-media construction, usually designed for a specific place or for a temporary period of time.
