Photos from the official arrival of the 16.5m yellow duck at Victoria Harbour today…
Hong Kongers are warned to brace for at least a week’s worth of social networking news feed updates related to the plastic bath-time favourite.
Travel companies are already offering tours of the installation site for mainland visitors. Harbour City, which is hosting Florentijn Hofman’s big yellow sculpture, has an accompanying gallery along with merchandise available for visitors.
If you enjoyed the giant duck, then you may also be interested in the giant inflatable dog shit, which is debuted at West Kowloon Cultural District last week.
Hofman claims that “The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve tensions as well as define them. [It] is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages.”
The oversized aquatic toy comes in peace, “knows no frontiers, doesn’t discriminate against people and doesn’t have a political connotation”. The duck is on a world tour…
An interview with the creator…
The South China Morning Mouthpiece has officially gone ‘full retard’, publishing no less than 6 articles about the plump pontoon and live-blogging its arrival…
The duck has 200 components including 3 concrete anchors weighing 3 tonnes…
The moment recreated at ‘City Impressions @ Tsim Sha Tsui’ exhibition in Central. Click for more shots of the LEGO exhibition in Central.
The duck has since been awarded permanent residency…
Now, everyone say ‘waaah’…
Is it a tribute to 2nd Chief executive Donald Tsang?
