Christo debuts his first completed public project this month since his 2005 collaboration with Jeanne-Claude on The Gates in New York. The Floating Piers (18 June-3 July) is a fully-functional modular floating dock on the scenic Lake Iseo, the fourth largest lake in the northern Italian region of Lombardy.

The three-kilometre pier connects the communes of Sulzano and Monte Isola to the island of San Paolo with 70,000 sq. m of yellow fabric atop 200,000 floating polyethylene cubes.

Visitors will be able to walk the length of the pier across Lake Iseo. The pier continues for one-and-a-half kilometres onto the pedestrian streets of Sulzano commune and San Paolo. After its 16-day duration, the pier will be removed and recycled.
