The Floating Piers: Walking on Water Project

The Floating Piers created by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to be on view at Italy’s Lake Iseo from June 18 to July 3, 2016. Italy’s Lake Iseo is being reimagined. 100,000 square meters of shimmering yellow fabric, carried by a modular floating dock system of 220,000 high-density polyethylene cubes, undulate with the movement of the waves as The Floating Piers rise just above the surface of the water.

Visitors can experience this work of art by walking on it from Sulzano to Monte Isola and to the island of San Paolo, which is framed by The Floating Piers. There are no tickets, no openings, no reservations and no owners. Those who experience The Floating Piers will feel like they are walking on water. After the 16-day exhibition, all components will be removed and industrially recycled.
