This giant rubber ducky can be seen in France, in conjunction with “Loire Estuary 2007,” an outdoor, contemporary-art exhibition that features the works by 30 artists from around the world.

All of the work is being installed along a 40-mile stretch at the mouth of the Loire River, from Saint-Nazaire to Nantes. [Wooster Collective]

This (26×20x32 metres) duck is created by Florentijn Hofman.

An excerpt from Hofman’s website about this artwork…

A yellow spot on the horizon slowly approaches the coast. People have gathered 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 relief mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!
