Intervention in Suam River, Anyang, South Korea
A series of concrete casts have been placed in the water of Suam
river in a similar manner to the broad stepping stone bridges that
are used to cross rivers in Korea. The 33 concrete steps have been
moulded to stick out of the water and thus direct the viewers eye
through the landscape. Crucially the steps of this concrete bridge
are smaller than their typical stone archetypes though, each giving
just enough space for a single foothold.
The water level of Suam river can vary dramatically between a mere puddle and a swiftly flowing torrent within just a couple of days, and so, without the artist's intention, "footbridge" was completed when it was subsequently totally drowned by a flood.
