The Floating Piers was a reimagining of Italy’s Lake Iseo by artists Christo and Jeane Claude July 18 - July 3, 2016. Visitors were able to experience the artwork by walking across 3 kilometres of water over interconnected floating piers. Visitors would feel the undulating movement of the surface of water as the piers rose and fell with the waves. “Those who experienced The Floating Piers felt like they were walking on water – or perhaps the back of a whale,” said Christo. “The light and water transformed the bright yellow fabric to shades of red and gold throughout the sixteen days.”
There were over 500 workers from across Europe monitoring the piers 24hrs a day by boat, through the towns, and on the pier itself.
