After Giant Rubber Duck, A 82-Foot Gigantic Rabbit Makes Its Appearance





A giant rabbit has descended in Taiwan for the upcoming Mid-Autumn festival of the Chinese lunar calendar happening next week.



The 82-foot white rabbit sculpture is the work of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, who was also behind his world exhibition of the giant rubber duck and the ongoing gigantic floating hippo. The sculpture is made out of waterproof paper, styrofoam and wood.



Said to be Hofman’s depiction of the lunar rabbit in traditional folklore of the Chinese festival, the massive rabbit appears to be “contemplating about life and creating its own dreams” as it lies idyllic in the middle of a farmland.
