Floating orange platforms across an Italian lake and a disorienting mirror maze are among US editor Dan Howarth's 10 favourite installations from the past 12 months, continuing our review of 2016.
Floating Piers by Christo
Three kilometres of saffron-coloured pathways temporarily connected the shore of Italy's Lake Iseo to islands at its centre in this installation by Bulgarian artist Christo.
The Floating Piers stretched across the lake for 16 days of June, when visitors could walk from Sulzano on the lake's eastern edge to the island of Monte Isola and the encircled islet of San Paolo.

Waterfall by Olafur Eliasson
A towering waterfall appeared to fall from midair into the Grand Canal at the Palace of Versailles as part of an exhibition by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. Cascading from high above the surface of the pool, the Waterfall installation looked like a torrent of water with no discernible source when viewed from the front steps of the palace.

The site-specific Transitional Object (PsychoBarn) initially appeared like a real house, but was actually made up of two facades propped up by scaffolding.
