The appearance of two giant yellow ducks once again caused a sensation in the city! Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, who created the rubber duck in 2007, has been traveling the world with them and visited Hong Kong for the first time in 2013. Ten years later, the artist brings the ducks back to Hong Kong to commemorate this special moment. However, besides creating giant rubber ducks, the artist actually has many other interesting oversized works!
The artist specifically chose Hong Kong's unique bamboo scaffolding to create the installation, and hung black and white canvas photos on it. The work has already sparked public discussion since its release. We took this opportunity to invite the artist and their team to share in detail the creative concept behind this project with us!
