On an Italian mountain, a huge, pink stuffed bunny.
In 2005, residents of Artesina were surprised to look out their windows and see a new addition to one of the many 5,000 foot high mountains that dot the countryside in Northern Italy. Almost overnight, a gigantic pink rabbit had taken its place atop the hill, starkly contrasting the dark green foliage covering the slopes. At 200 feet long and 20 feet high, the gigantic bunny is hard to miss. Created by the art collective from Vienna, Gelitin, the macabre rabbit was built on top of an old abandoned farm with its entrails streaming out to make visitors feel like they are stepping into Gulliver’s Travels. To accomplish their goals, Gelitin has encouraged visitors to climb, jump or take a short rest on top of the rabbit's lifeless body.
