| Rubber Duck in Sidney |
When
searching for the post to write today, the rubber duck was a nice shock, but
on its sustainability? In the words of its creator on his work: "The Rubber
Duck knows no frontiers, it does not discriminate people and does not
have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has
healing properties: it can relieve mondial Tensions as well as define
them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!
"
TheRubber Duck is a project by the dutch artist Florentijn Hofman. It
arrived at 2pm on the 5th January 2013 at the Darling harbour, Sydney
(AUS), for the Sidney Festival. Created from PVC, a pontoon boat, and
a generator, the high rubber duck is the latest incarnation of
Hofman’s humoristic piece which has also graced the waters of various places around the world since 2007:
Osaka, Auckland, Sao Paolo, Amsterdam, floats from city to city
along the Loire river in France etc.
Measuring
15 meters high and 18 meters wide, the oversized friendly creature’s
mission is to provide a joyful interruption to people’s daily
routines. People from all over the world connect the rubber toy with
their childhood memories and are brought up with positive sensations.
