Floating sculpture of a sinking boat created by French artist Julien Berthier.
According to the artist, Love-love is the permanent and mobile image of a wrecked ship that has become a functional and safe leisure object.

As someone who has grown up on boats and been through several hurricanes, and experienced boating disasters, this is nothing short of disturbing. bad idea

I really like the concept. It messes with our perception of what a working boat should look like. It’s particularly fun watching it trundle about as the brain has a very set idea of what a boat is and automatically adds in the missing section of hull.

Half a boat that floats, if only – genius

I agree Betty but I think the artist is embracing a fear and trying to let people conquer or confront a nightmare.

It’s a bad idea. It will confuse people if a boat is really sinking.

Love the idea as an art piece! And betty, please remember the artist is a frenchman. Oh yes, and he’s an artist. If artists were to tip toe around everyones feelings art wouldn’t exist! It’s all about what it symbolises.

As a sailor, I have to say; what a great idea!
In response to an earlier comment, yes it is a functioning boat with a small outboard mounted behind the keel (see video and still “out-of-water”).
Well Done!

The point of art is to provoke the senses & emotion even if the emotion is disguist or dislike. The fact that a piece provokes, it serves its purpose.

It would be funny if it actually sank, it would take half as long.
