This summer, as she told us yesterday, Ana read here the publication of the contest proposed for this project, and said and done, they took part and won. A nice idea and brilliant execution in its result, which emulates and reinterprets some proposal by Olafur Eliasson at the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan, in Jonathan's city. In this case the visual threshold is important but we are sure it is much important the sound, given the characteristics of Amposta. Hat tip and our congratulations!
"The proposal for the suspension bridge of Amposta intends to make the water of the river Ebro the protagonist in the installation. The waterfall makes reference to the constant movement of the river and at the same time creates and visual spectacle from the river banks (city and nature). On the other hand, the sound of the falling water transforms the bridge into a space of transition, an audible threshold between two worlds: the urban and the natural. The attention of the spectator is captivated by a sensorial world that invites the exploration the visual, audible, ambient and material dimensions."
