Tatton Park - Flights of Fancy 2012

Tatton Biennial

Pont de Singe by Olivier Grossetete.

 

A folly of design and engineering - this work exposes the fragility of human endeavour and the power of imagination.

 

Reflecting the architecture of Tatton's Japanese Garden and the flight of fancy as a whole, an almond-eye bridge suggests the power of daydreams and their ability to transform reality. There is no way on or off the bridge, which is held aloft by three helium filled balloons. Instead, the work is offered as a meditation for those who wish to contemplate an impossible journey.
