Jill Sarver ’10 was
able to visit “The Floating Piers” while in Italy. She writes, “Christo himself
even made an appearance! Pictures do it little justice. Absolutely magical
beyond belief.”
About “The Floating
Piers” : For sixteen days – June 18 through July 3, 2016 (weather permitting) –
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. The Floating Piers is the
latest and last work of artist duo Christo and Jean-Claude. The floating
yellow roads extend from the pedestrian streets of Sulzano, connecting the
islands of San Paolo and Monte Isola.
