Walk on water

Walk on water

"Bridge" is a site-specific installation commissioned for a formal church in London, Dilston Grove. The installation floods the church with water and it is "a series of steps which rise out of the apparently empty man-made ‘lake’ as you walk across them. Each step emerges one step in front of you and disappears back underneath behind you as you go. This ‘bridge’ is purely mechanical, the weight of the person on it depresses each step a little, this force activates a submerged mechanism which raises the next step."

The visitors to the space is invited to walk on it and be stranded in the middle of the plane of water.

Now that's my idea of fun, don't you think so? It's like a mario game of sort.
