A rubber duck almost 20 meters high covers the main ports of the world

Florentijn Hofman travels around the world with a singular purpose: to drop traditional rubber ducks in major ports.

This week a rubber ducky of 16.5 meters high are passing through Victoria Harbour Hong Kong (China), although this is not their only destination. The Duch artist is devoted to drop in the main ports of the world this unique toy, traditionally designed to float in the tubs.                                                                 “Bring more love and joy to the city and change the perspective of the Hong Kong skyline’s Victoria Harbour as never again will be the same”, said Hofman about the duck.

   In my point of view, bring rubber duckies around the most important ports of the world is a nice way to give out happiness, like said the author. Moreover, it can increase the tourist in those respectives cities, as if this duck was in Barcelona, I will displace to there in order to see it. Shops, restaurants and hotels near the port could have an important economic injection. With this yellow duck idea, art has a new way to transmit and who know, maybe in a few months we will see a zoo floating through the Atlantic ocean.
