French designer Olivier Grossetet used three huge helium balloons to hang the "Monkey Bridge" over the lake in Tatton Park, a historic estate in north-west England. Being in a Japanese garden park attraction represents the longest rope bridge, made of cedar wood, which rises into the air on three helium-filled balloons. The ends of the bridge go straight into the water, so the visitors are unlikely to freely cross the lake.
Although the tour strictly forbids crossing this bridge, Olivier Grossetet argues that huge balloons may well hold the weight of an average person. Replacing the conventional base and fixing three bridges, Olivier Grossetet repeatedly explained to the public the meaning of his creative ideas. According to the designer, his work of art is nothing but an attempt to revive poetry and daydreaming in the turmoil of modern life. Indeed, the bridge, which hangs on three balls, seems to be trying to brighten up our stagnant imagination. It clearly outlines the work of Leonardo da Vinci.
It should be noted that for the realisation of such a project, he is not a French enthusiast for the first time: in 2007 he had already carried out a similar idea. Creative projects by Olivier Grosseteta inspire not only many contemporary architects and environmentalists, who favour a symbiosis of man and nature, but also many other people. No wonder that soon it would become a work of art of everyday reality.

| An almond-eye bridge reflects the architecture of Tatton's Japanese Garden and the overall flight of fancy, suggesting 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. |
