Those who believe that size does not matter should talk to the sculptor. Florentijn Hofman from Holland. It is he who from time to time entertains people with giant sculptures and installations, laying out a huge "Fat Monkey" on the street from rubber slippers, or constructing an equally huge yellow hare (Big yellow rabbit) right on Orebro Square in Sweden. This 13-meter, solar-eared Big Yellow Rabbit is a temporary installation made of metal, concrete and wood, which is timed to coincide with the Open Art Biennale, which takes place every year in Sweden.
Florentin Hoffman explains that the giant hare is a hugely enlarged cuddle toy that is very popular in Sweden. And in general - what could be more positive than a giant yellow hare, which has fallen apart in the central square with its paws upside down, lifting its neat scanty tail over houses, cars and passers-by? I don’t know about you, but for me this installation only brings a smile.
This and other projects can be found on the website of the sculptor Florentijn Hofman.
