HUGE FLOATING HEAD! Japan’s giant floating balloon art installation of a middle-aged man’s head
- 9 years ago
On Dec. 21st, a floating head of a middle-aged man appeared in the skies above the city of Utsunomiya, which is located approximately 60 miles to the north of Tokyo.
This is actually the latest art installation by a group called “Me” which means ‘eye’ or ‘eyes’ in Japanese and courtesy of the Utsunomiya Museum of Art.
The group had set up a booth to photograph people and out of the 218 photos taken, Haruka Kojin, a member of the group “Me” chose this one, because it resembled a man she’d met in a dream once.
The balloon installation measures almost 50 feet in length and 23 feet in width.
The art collective spent 2 months painstakingly painting over 67,000 dots on the balloon to create the pointilist portrait, giving it a slightly comic book effect.
Another eerie or artistic addition is that the disembodied head also glows at night.
