Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, known for his creating the popular giant rubber duckie, has created another enormous sculpture. This time, it is of a hippopotamus, named ‘HippopoThames’, which was named after the River Thames.
The 21-meter-long sculpture is made with wooden panels, and was built at the Royal Docks in Eastern London—it will be floating in the waters of Nine Elms on the South Bank, from now through 28 September 2014, as part of the Totally Thames festival.
Hofman hopes to inspire conversations through his work, and give viewers a pleasant break from their daily routines.
Watch the video below to see how the ‘HippopoThames’ was constructed, and head over to the artist's website for more of his wonderful creations.
