two weeks in June 2016 lake Iseo in Lombardy will cover a network of floating pedestrian piers bright yellow color, which can be admired from the surrounding mountains. This is a new project by American artist and sculptor of Bulgarian origin Hristo Avachev "Floating pier". To create a Grand installation will require about 200 thousand floating cubes and miles of yellow fabric. Along the paths you can walk from the town of Sulzano on lake to the island Ponte-Isola, the largest lake island in Italy, and the neighbouring small island of San Paolo. The island will for the first time are connected by transitions with the shore. The total length of the tracks will be about 3,5–4 cm@

Hristo of Aushev, who is now 79 years old, is world famous for such large-scale installations by wrapping entire buildings, monuments, Islands, valleys and rivers of the cloth. For many years he worked in the creative Union with his wife Jeanne-Claude de Gibon, who passed away in 2009. The project "Floating pier" is more reminiscent of their joint project 1983 "Surrounded Islands", in which eleven Islands in Miami area were surrounded by pink Danu@

Hristo has collected $ 11 million for installation on lake Iseo, but he's still not sure that this is a finite sum. To Italy he tried unsuccessfully to negotiate a hover floating piers in Japan and Argentina@
