Actually, it isn’t really a sinking ship. It’s a special sculpture called Love Love, created by the French artist Julien Berthier. But it’s
not just a work of art — it’s also a
working boat. Berthier cut it in half and added a motor, allowing the boat to
move around and stay above the water. It just looks like it’s
sinking!
A man is sitting on a ship which seems to be sinking. But he looks
comfortable and peaceful. Is he trying to kill himself? Berthier has taken his unique sculpture on an international tour, sailing
it across the English Channel to London. Although he was perfectly safe, many
other boaters thought he was in trouble. Some offered to help, while others
called rescue teams to save him.
Berthier, however, insists he wasn’t trying to fool
anyone. “My sculpture takes a scary moment and freezes it
forever,” he said. “I just wanted to
create something that shows that things are not always as they seem.”
