The giant Rubber Duck floats at Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, May 2, 2013. The 16.5-metre-tall inflatable sculpture, by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, will be on display near Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui until June 9.
The duck is made up of 200 component pieces. The bottom of the duck is a floating stage with a diameter of 13.75 metres. Inside the duck, air pumps work around the clock to ensure the duck holds its shape. Hofman is well-known for his "larger-than-life" public art works that break the boundaries between people and the aloofness of public art spaces. [Photo: Reuters]
