Bruges, Belgium is home to a new installation that is impossible to miss. Brooklyn-based architecture and design company STUDIOKCA has put up a 38-foot-tall whale made entirely of plastic waste reclaimed from the ocean.
The whale, now surfacing from one of the city’s main canals, was created using five tons of plastic collected from the Pacific Ocean – an amount which, although it would cover some 4,000 square feet, is nothing in comparison with the total of plastic debris polluting the oceans today.
The installation, called “Skyscraper (the Bruges Whale),” was created as part of the Bruges Triennial by STUDIOKCA’s co-founders Jason Klimoski and Lesley Chang, and sends a message that is now more important than ever.
