Giant Hippo splashes into River Thames
Online Edition
ALONG London’s River Thames are some notable landmarks: the London Bridge, the Millennium Bridge, and now, a giant floating hippo, The Times reported.
The nearly 70-foot-long replica of the water mammal—named “HippopoThames”—is the latest project of Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, according to CNN.
The work was commissioned by the Thames Festival Trust, which had approached Hofman earlier this year to design artwork for Totally Thames, an annual festival celebrating the river, The Times reported.
HippopoThames will be on display until Sept. 28.
The aritist reportedly said HippopoThames was inspired by everyday objects, especially those that time warp people to their childhoods. It’s also designed to force viewers to appreciate public spaces, even after the installations are removed.
