WHAT IS THE GIANT COLETO FAVA FACE?


Colleto Fava is a hill 1.500 meters above sea level, in the Piedmont region, northern Italy, and on top of this hill, a group of artists made a huge doll in the shape of a pink rabbit, 60 meters long and six meters tall in its highest part, which looks like it fell from the sky and crashed into the mountain, leaving it with open arms, wide eyes and its entrails coming out of the body.

The doll was made of straw and fabric by Gelitin, a group of artists from Vienna in 2005, as an outdoor sculpture, where people could climb on it, play and relax on its huge body. At the time, the fabric that covered the doll was in a bright pink color, to really draw attention, but due to the bad weather, currently the doll is in a washed pink tone, almost gray, and with the fabric in many places torn and the doll gradually rotting away. But that was the intention, that it would disappear over time, but hopefully it would last until 2025. The doll's name is Hase (which in German means "Hare"), but everyone calls it the pink rabbit, for reasons obvious.

The doll is not visible from below, and to see it, just fly over or walk up the mountain. Many question the making of the doll in a place where only a few adventurers can visit, saying it was a totally futile effort. The group defends itself, saying that even so, it is art, and that it doesn't need a purpose to make it worthwhile. In the same way, how some sculptures were made and placed submerged in the oceans, where only divers can appreciate them.
