The 100,000 square meters aquatic installation connects the region\u2019s small islands to the Italian mainland, allowing patrons to stroll along and gain a new perspective. This is Christo\u2019s first outdoor installation in a decade, with 2005\u2019s \u201cThe Gates\u201d in New York City as his last. While his Manhattan artwork included 7,500 golden gates in Central Park, \u201cThe Floating Piers\u201d is a simple walkway that changes colour in response to the weather conditions and time. The piece is a functional structure that required methodical thinking from countless engineers and scientists to erect.<br \/>\nThe installation will be open for 16 days, projecting a greater sense of value as\u00a0a temporary project by the world-renowned artist.<br \/>\n<strong>More information on &#8216;The Floating Piers&#8217;\u00a0is available at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefloatingpiers.com\/#introduction\" target=\"_blank\">thefloatingpiers.com<\/a><\/strong> \n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An aquatic follow-up to 2005&#8217;s &#8216;The Gates&#8217;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":32927,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[4771,4772,3931,4773,4774,4775],"class_list":["post-32925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-christo","tag-christo-and-jeanne-claude","tag-italy","tag-lake-iseo","tag-lombardy","tag-the-floating-piers"],"acf":{"main_category":null,"legacy":"1","exclude_from_ads":null,"hero_title":null,"subtitle":null,"hero":null,"teasers":null,"facebook_image":null,"related_articles":null,"next_article":null,"sleek_card_focus":null,"content":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Walk on Water with &#039;The Floating Piers&#039; by Christo Walk on Water with &#039;The Floating Piers&#039; by Christo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/christo-floating-piers-italy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Walk on Water with &#039;The Floating Piers&#039; by Christo Walk on Water with &#039;The Floating Piers&#039; by Christo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"An aquatic follow-up to 2005&#039;s &#039;The Gates&#039;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/christo-floating-piers-italy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-06-17T13:49:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek team\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Gesch\u00e4tzte Lesezeit\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1\u00a0Minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
