“The project is the journey,” declares Christo, reflecting on the recent installation of The Floating Piers in a film directed by Italian duo Alessandro Cicoria and Carlo Lavagna. Capturing the artist amidst the windy Lake Iseo in Northern Italy, the directors listened to the story of this great installation — the first since The Gates in 2005 — and the passing of his wife and creative partner, Jeanne-Claude, in 2009. Shimmering yellow fabric — 100,000 square meters (1,076,400 square feet) of it — stretched out over Lake Iseo and into the coastal villages of Sulzano and Monte Isola, connecting them to the island of San Paolo at the center of the body of water. Visitors were invited to walk atop those floating structures, smartly engineered by the artist and a team of European manufacturers, and the structure could be observed from various perspectives atop the mountains surrounding the lake. Years after his renowned series of wrapped buildings, trees and other objects, Christo talks about the process of making public installations, which he funds solely through the sale of his personal artworks so that the public can freely enjoy and experience them.
