A floating art allows tourists to walk on the waters of Lake Iseo in Italy.
Thanks to a pop-up art installation made of floating saffron-colored walkways, visitors to northern Italy's Lake Iseo can now walk on water. Yes you read that right!
The Floating Piers, an artwork which moves with the waves, stretches across the lake linking two islands to the mainland -- transforming the otherwise tranquil island of Monte Isola into a tourist hot-spot.
It was opened to the public on June 18th this year. The art installation was created by 81-year-old artist Christo and is made from floating polystyrene docks topped with 100,000 square meters of gold fabric.
"We chose this lake because of its marvelous location, the islands reach hundreds of meters above the sea and only 2,000 people live there," said the Bulgarian-American artist Christo in an interview with CNN.
Christo along with wife Jeanne wanted to build this together but unfortunately, Jeanne passed away in 2008 from a brain aneurysm. The passing away of his wife, did not deter Christo from fulfilling their dream.
