Christo was an artist born in Gabrovo. With Jeanne-Claude he wrapped public buildings and stretches of coast, and each project was an event with a date, a photograph, and a crowd. The Reichstag in Berlin is the picture many people remember. He died in 2020. The work was always temporary, which makes the timeline the thing that remains.

Sunday at the table
This is a sample story. A son would write about Sunday, the extra chair, and the way Christo kept a place for whoever arrived.
