SULZANO, ITALY — A Bulgarian-born environmental artist has unveiled his latest installation ‘The Floating Piers’ in Italy, that allows people to experience something akin to walking on water.
The work of Christo, a 3 kilometre-long floating walkway on Lake Iseo, links the town of Sulzano to Monte Isola and San Paolo islands.
It consists of 220,000 interlocking high-density polyethylene cubes, which are anchored to concrete structures on the lake’s bed. A yellow fabric covering the walkway changes colour from red to gold depending on the weather and light.
The walkway moves according to the movement of the waves as people walk on it, which gives the visitors a feeling of walking on water.
Christo previously worked with his late wife, Jeanne-Claude, who died in 2009. Their famous installations include the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont-Neuf bridge in Paris.
