As if Lake Iseo wasn’t picturesque enough, Bulgarian artist Christo opened a new art installation that will allow people to ‘walk on water’. The walkable artwork The Floating Piers is made using 100,000 square meters of fabric, carried on a pontoon of 220,000 high-density poly-ethylene cubes.

“Those who experience The Floating Piers will feel like they are walking on water – or perhaps the back of a whale,” said Christo. “The light and water willtransform the bright yellow fabric to shades of red and gold throughout the sixteen days.”
