Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman appears at the press conference for the opening of “Hofman’s Healing Zoo.”
Inspired by his daughter’s children’s book “The Hippo on the Thames,” which once appeared in London, UK.
Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman is internationally renowned for his large-scale outdoor public art installations. Eleven of his classic works have been moved from outdoor spaces to indoor venues. The giant inflatable installations include classics such as “The Little Yellow Duck,” “Moon Rabbit,” “Thames Hippo,” and “Hugging Elephant,” along with a brand-new, never-before-seen piece — “Pink Whale.”
Inspired by the Kraken, the sea monster from Nordic mythology that wraps around and sinks ships, but designed with a child-friendly appearance to encourage visitors to jump and interact around its tentacles.
The brown bear “Ironman” holding a pillow, originally located in the suburbs of Amsterdam, may look like it’s just been woken up and a bit grumpy, but remains a symbol of friendliness — its soft pillow is just like a gentle heart.
