Ever wanted to feel what it would be like to walk on water? Here’s your chance! Opening on June 18th and going on for 16 days is a cool new installation on Italy’s lake Iseo – “The Floating Piers”. Designed by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, expect 3 km (almost 2 miles) of 200,000 high-density polyethylene cubes, where visitors will be able to walk from Sulzano to Monte Isola and to the island of San Paolo, which it encircles. And it’s absolutely free!
“The Floating Piers” will also be visible from the surrounding mountains. And get this – as the light changes throughout the day, the view of the piers will change from deep yellow to a shimmering gold to a reddish hue when wet.
“They will feel the movement of the water under foot,” Christo said. “It will be very sexy, a bit like walking on a water bed.”
