Artist Luke Jerram wants to build a 300-foot-long slip-and-slide right down the middle of a street in Bristol, England. That is Godās work you are doing, Luke.
It might seem absurd, but it actually has a shot of happening: being a slip-and-slide, all theyād need would be some tarps and a hose (OK, maybe a bit more), and Jerram says heād only need the street for one day in May.
The reason? It would allow āpeople to see their city in a new lightā, and serve as āa simple architectural intervention and a playful response to the urban landscapeā.
Plus, you know, itās a giant water slide.
The road in question, Park Street, is on a hill, and its steep incline has led to its prior use for stuff like soapbox racing. So thereās precedent for wacky stuff like this.
Heās after Ā£5,622, and has raised just over Ā£3,000 at time of posting.
