大黄鸭之父新作品 大白兔亮相台湾
“大黄鸭”之父荷兰艺术家霍夫曼打造的最新作品大白兔于9月4日亮相台湾桃园地景艺术节，迎接中秋佳节。这只白兔名叫“月兔”，在蓝天绿草的衬托下犹如一只来自爱丽丝仙境的真实版兔子。
A person stands in front of a 25.3-meter-long giant rabbit designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman in an old aircraft hangar as part of the Taoyuan Land Art Festival in Taoyuan, northern Taiwan, Sept 3, 2014. The rabbit is named "Moon rabbit" for the coming Mid-Autumn Festival or the Moon Festival and will be displayed from Sept 4 to 14 at the Taoyuan military base.
The latest creation of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, a huge white rabbit, will meet the public on Thursday during a festival in Taiwan, local media reported.
The 25-meter-tall model was spotted reclining at an old aircraft hangar of the former Taoyuan Naval Base during a preview of the Taoyuan Land Arts Festival on Tuesday.
It resembles the real-life rabbit from Alice's Wonderland, surrounded by blue sky and grassland, according to tourists who attended the preview.
The giant rabbit faces towards the sky, so people hardly see its face, except via bird's-eye view.
Made of waterproof paper, wood and styrofoam, the rabbit can withstand both sunshine and rain, but may fall victim to typhoons, the report stated.
Workers are still in a rush to complete details, it added.
Hofman's creation, amongst many of his giant animal work, aims to arouse happiness and draws inspiration from the traditional Chinese legend of Chang'e and Jade Rabbit.
