Foot Bridge A series of concrete casts will be placed in the water in the lower part of Samsong River near Anyang Art Park. Similar to the broad stepping stone bridges that are used to cross Korean rivers, a series of up to 30 concrete steps are being moulded that will be sticking out of the water and thus direct the viewers eye from one bank to the other. Cruicially the steps of this concrete bridge are smaller than their stone archetypes though, giving just enough space for a single foothold. Additionally they stick further out of the water at slightly different heights from each other. This bridge for the eyes will be situated at a spot of the in river where both banks, 10 or so meters apart, are smothered by 30-storey apartment blocks. At a second glance you can see that the concrete blocks have ornamentation imprinted on them. Their negative forms have been built out of discarded furniture collected from the dumps of the same sort of high-rise apartment blocks that are standing at both sides of the location and still carry the roses and garlands that their former owners used to enjoy.
