Since 2005, a gargantuan stuffed rabbit has been occupying a part of the hillside in the Italian alps. Its splayed legs, open mouth and popping eyes give an impression that the rabbit was dropped from the sky, accentuating the comicality often associated with Gelitin while enrapturing people’s imagination. However, a trail of guts spilling out from the side of the body, in addition to the rabbit’s premeditated and inevitable demise, suggests otherwise, upending the innocence and gaiety identified with plush toys. The rabbit is projected to be there until 2025.
