You never heard of the Brutalist Easter Bunny in Jyväskylä, Finland?

[karhutar@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay yes, it's hideous, never heard of it before

[astronot@mastodon.online]

@karhutar @Natasha_Jay Do you know the artist's name? I'd love a giant scary bunny for my yard.

My neighbor has giant dinosaurs. It's tough to keep up with the Jones around here.

@astronot @Natasha_Jay the article says the artist is Helmer Selin, but note that the work was finished 1982.

@astronot @Natasha_Jay the owner of the statue seems to be the city of Jyväskylä, I think they wouldn't hesitate to sell it... it must be a public danger by now

[astronot@mastodon.online]

@karhutar @Natasha_Jay i think shipping may be an issue.

Thank you for the information

@astronot @Natasha_Jay they are taking leaking toilets to the moon, so why not one concrete bunny to somewhere else

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@Natasha_Jay Ah. Good old Finland. 🤍

@Natasha_Jay That’s even more hardcore than the Beckenham Place Park Squirrel!

Brutalist Easter Bunny in Jyväskylä, Finland iz brutal, Natasha.

@Natasha_Jay I lived few years next to Jyväskylä’s brutalistic bunny. Best part was that its interior was hollow and was playground to children. It is practically located at schoolyard. Some time after I moved away it was filled with concrete. Extra fun is that district where that is, is called Pupuhuhta (nearly literal translation is something like Bunny field. :)) I love that bunny and also I’m a brut fan.

@Natasha_Jay ohhh it’s beautiful and i would like to build a studio inside of it

[oscarfalcon@mastodon.social]

@Natasha_Jay

Oh I love it!

@karhutar @Natasha_Jay
But seeing it as scary is an adult view. As a child, I would have loved climbing on it. I remember wooden alternatives from my youth, when we were always afraid of wood splinters.
(Calling it a Monster would be a bonus, btw )
Only the solid socket is stupid and should be sand for soft landings.

@Natasha_Jay That's the Mecha Easter Bunny Boss controlled by the smoll Easter Bunnies. It throws Easter egg shaped grenades at you
