‘Giant snake skeleton’ emerges in the middle of the beach, attracting tourists to check-in
The 130-meter-long “snake” was made for the “Voyage à Nantes” Festival in the Estuaire Contemporary Art Exhibition in France.
Not only romantic, France is also a country famous for many unique works of art. A man named Huang Yong Ping designed and built a giant snake skeleton on a deserted beach in France.
The work, called Serpent d’Océan, is a special metal sculpture located on the beach of Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, a small French town on the edge of the Loire estuary connecting to the Atlantic Ocean. Serpent d’Océan belongs to the contemporary art school. The snake skeleton can sink or float on the sea surface due to the ebb and flow of the tide.
The 130-meter-long skeleton is made entirely of aluminum and appears to emerge from the seabed in a terrifying way. The winding movement of the vertebrae creates the illusion of a living creature, as if it is moving under the ocean to appear or disappear according to the rhythm of the tide.
When viewed from above, this moment really makes many viewers go crazy because the snake wriggles smoothly and realistically on the water surface. When viewed up close, people are even more stunned by its elaborateness.
The message behind this work of art is to protect the environment and protect the lives of creatures living under the ocean.
Many visitors when coming here do not forget to record memories with this “monster skeleton” with extremely cool photos. Let’s admire this magnificent work of art through the lens of photographers and tourists!
