Though the display is long gone and no longer up for your viewing pleasure, when we stumbled upon (not literally the site) this eye catching visually of an oversized yellow rabbit that seems to have dropped out of the sky and landed amongst the center of the Swedish town square, we couldn’t help but share! For last year’s biennale openART festival in Orebro, Sweden, Dutch artists Florentijn Hofman came up with the unconventional idea of creating a large scaled yellow bunny, using only local materials and craftsmen, in hopes of recreating the given environment and change the visitors perspective on the traditionally designed space. Hofman, most known for his large scaled works that push the boundaries of creativity while bringing a new found dimension and outlook on the spaces in which he invades, works to alter the viewers initial and immediate perception of spaces.  Made out of locally manufactured shingles, wood, concrete and metal and with the help of 25 local craftsmen volunteering their time,  Hofman was able to create a sight that could not be  missed nor will it be easily forgotten.
