Spaceflower – Transalp Waterline Tour #8

2018-03-03T04:01:37+01:00

Transalp Waterline Tour #8 At the heart of the Swiss Alps, Flims hosted international slackliners for the 8th consecutive year. More than 100 slackliners went on the tour to visit beautiful mountain lakes. To add to the stunning scenery at Caumasee (Lake Cauma), this spontaneous and colorful art installation was born. Made from 1000m of slackline webbing and 24 hammocks, it took 3 days to install over the lake. First seen in Sept 2017, this installation is planned to appear again.
