@Natasha_Jay haha it seems to be placed at Pupuhuhta school yard - Pupupuhta means approx "Bunny meadow" and the sculpture is meant as something that kids can climb on. It's called "Bunny granny and her jolly bowed legs" (impossible to translate the pun)
@karhutar @Natasha_Jay hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson? Looked right through me. Looked right through me. -

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

@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. -

@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.
