Installation art is a genre that incorporates any media to create a visceral and/or conceptual experience in a particular environment.

It can include any media from tree branches to words or, more traditional media such as sculpture, video, sound, performance and space itself.

Some installations are site-specific; they can only exist in the space for which they were created.

Christo is another installation artist who is famous for his wrapping of the Pont Neuf in Paris with white cloth and his display of fabric strung across many kilometres in California.
