It has already journeyed down the Thames but now the Floating Duck Sculpture, the work of Florentign Hoffman has made it all the way to Hong Kong.
The structure arrived in the city this week (May 2nd) and is set to remain in Hong Kong until June 9th.
Dubbed Spreading Joy Around the World, the duck was dreamt up by the Dutch conceptual artist to introduce a little fun into the art world. It has already travelled to 12 cities in ten different countries and looks set to continue bringing its peaceful message to the world.
The artist’s website explains the thought behind the creation: “The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t 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!
The structure is the World’s Largest Rubber Duck and measures in at 26 x 20 x 32 metres.
