Compare the rubber ducky with the group of people standing beside it and you can see how massive it is! Look carefully, there is a faint curvy line beneath the duck’s neck. Yep, this inflatable duck can even nod its head!

Here are more cute pictures!

Hofman created this ducky for loire estuary 2007, an outdoor contemporary-art exhibition in France. Opened on June 1, this art exhibition features works of 30 artists from around the world. All art creations have been installed along a 40-mile stretch at the mouth of the loire river in France, from saint-nazaire to nantes.

This is how hofman describes his cute creation:

A yellow spot on the horizon slowly approaches the coast. People have gatherd and watch in amazement as a giant yellow Rubber Duck approaches. The spectators are greeted by the duck, which slowly nods its head. 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!

Adopt a funky rubber duck for $10 and send it to race with other funky rubber ducks on the Singapore river! All ducks wear their own shades. If I’m not wrong, you can also adopt the duck for $5 and keep it as a souvenir.

Have a splashing weekend!
