Florentijn Hofman — Rotterdam, The Netherlands

“Bringing the world’s biggest zeppelin for my art project Zirkus Zeppelin to the Netherlands and landing in this huge object and seeing the crowd standing waiting and wondering was a great thrill.”

Dutch conceptual artist Florentijn Hofman creates a Brobdingnagian world, picking everyday objects and enlarging them for a specific location. One of his recent works was a giant rubber duck (10 metres tall) that was placed on the river nearby Nakanoshima, Osaka.
