The Sloterplasfestival invited Studio Elmo Vermijs to make a proposal for the coming edition of the Sloterplasfestival; the 25th, 26th and 27th of June 2010 at the Sloterplas in Amsterdam. The Floating Bridges are multifuntional rafts which can be dragged to every desired location at the Sloterplas. They can be used for festivals, but also for local activities, film evenings, theatre shows, as a camp-site, hangout etc. The bridges can easily be attached to each other, in this way a floating island on the sloterplas arises.
