THE FLOATING PIERS

Don't know how I did not heard about this work by Christo which has been realized only 3 years ago.
I love their work so much !
Floating Piers is a project imagined by the couple in the 1970s but they didn't find the right place for this somptuous project.

What I like most about their work is that their installations in situ are always accessible to everyone. 
In the case of Floating Piers, people can walk there. 
There is a real social dimension. 
As Jeanne-Claude died in 2009, Christo finalized this work without her. 
This is an "extension of the streets" according to the Bulgarian artist. 
In Lombardy, floating bridges have been deployed on several kilometers on the Lake Iseo. 
This huge bright yellow bridge made with more than a thousand floating platforms invited visitors to stroll on the water between the village of Sulzano and the island of San Paolo and the island of Monte Isola.

LAETITIA LOVICONI

Creative direction for places, arts and design

Laetitia Loviconi… je suis née et j’ai grandi à Paris. Après une formation en menuiserie au Lycée des Métiers du Bois Léonard de Vinci et un apprentissage en ébénisterie à l’Ecole Boulle, j’ai consacré mes premiers travaux à des commandes de particuliers en réalisant des sculptures murales en bois. J’expérimente d’autres matériaux mais ce qui m’intéresse le plus reste la métamorphose de la matière. Je poursuis mes recherches à travers chantiers, installations et scénographies. Ce blog est une approche sensible aux choses qui m’inspirent.
