Michael Cross walking on water
British contemporary artist Michael Cross created an epic project called The Bridge in September 2006, which was installed in Dilston Grove, south-east London. The Bridge gives the impression that one is walking on water, every step you makes a floater appear and disappear. It feels like hovering over an abyss.
The Bridge is a series of steps which rise up out of the water in front of you as you walk from one to the next, and then disappear back underneath behind you as you go, leaving you stranded with only one step visible in front of you, and one behind. The bridge ends in the middle of the water, where you find yourself totally isolated and cut off from the shore. You return the way you came. The mixed feelings of peace, isolation, relaxation and fear that the piece elicits are powerful.
Michael currently host the project in Z33 Hasselt, Belgium from May 30 until late August.
