This article totally reminds me of the amazing creativity and love of life that europeans have. The summer going into 3rd year i spent travelling all over europe (and north africa) and it was the locals' attitudes that i found to be so refreshing. I think the bunny will bring smiles to peoples faces, something that europeans don't leave home without, and furthermore i think that us north americans can learn a lot from our geographical neighbours' life-loving ways.
A surreal experience I am sure it will be to visit this hillside. It definitely made me laugh (out loud) in the library this morning. I hope that in years to come that it weathers nicely, like a favourite plush toy with years of handling and washing. I can't imagine what that artist was smoking when he came up with the idea! I need some of that I think! It will make school a lot more enjoyable I am sure :)
First thing I thought was that this really looks like the Easter bunny, lying dead after collapsing onto a hillside after a possible heart attack from too much chocolate...
Reminds me of the time (in the late 60s) when Claes Oldenburg offered the City of New York a 300-ft pink rabbit in Manhattan, which he would make and place either for free or for a nominal fee. They refused. (This was a year or two after he had installed a giant lipstick on a turrentless military tank-base in the exquisite marble courtyard of the Yale Rare Book Library. I wonder what happened to that.)
I think this is was a wonderful idea. I really shows how people's imaginations can contribute to thier own country. I would love to hear what people have to say when they actually get to see it first hand.
I love seeing things like this. People just coming together to create something for pure pleasure. Kinda makes you think about doing something similiar, though nothing could top a huge pink bunny!
