The famous giant rubber duck, a creation by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, has mysteriously deflated during its current trip in Hong Kong. The ducky was supposed to stay until June; the organiser of the exhibition is working to bring it back up.

Quack… Giant duck invades Osaka
A 10m tall giant rubber duck, created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, was displayed in the Japanese city of Osaka recently. The rubber duckie (and its taller cousin) has been travelling around the world since its creation in 2007.
Quack Quack… here comes the ducky
This giant rubber duck (26×20×32 metres), created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, can be seen in Nantes, France, during the Loire Estuary 2007, an outdoor art exhibition that features artworks by 30 artists from around the world. Cute stuff…
Excerpt from Hofman’s website…
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!
