Big Air Package, an indoor installation for the Gasometer Oberhausen, Germany, was conceived in 2010 and is on view from March 16 to December 30, 2013. 90 meters high, with a diameter of 50 meters and a volume of 177,000 cubic meters, the work of art is the largest ever inflated envelope without a skeleton.

And this is not the first time Christo has worked in this particular gasometer having once filled it with 13,000 coloured oil drums.
He is one of the greatest artists of our time, barely understood, yet he has made us think about places and spaces in different ways than anyone else ever has.
