Gelitin’s “Hase”
 |
At the Mondolé ski resort is a giant pink bunny. It looks like it fainted at the sight of Godzilla and is now lying on Colletto Fava mountain near the Bar la Baita restaurant. Unlike most outdoor sculptures you can climb on this one. In fact, the press release encourages it. The bunny is wool stuffed with straw, so it will be a little itchy. This also means that the bunny will eventually turn into compost.
I’m also not sure if the ski resort digs the bunny out of the snow in the winter or if it is entombed during the winter.
