The tail-less mermaid of Hamburg


A giant sculpture of a mermaid which has risen in  Hamburg’s Alster Lake, is attracting numerous tourists. The mermaid is made of Styrofoam and steel and will be on display for 10 days.  The work was designed by German artist and head of the advertising academy “Miami Ad School”, Oliver Voss.
Interestingly, the sculpture was sponsored by Marcia Kilgore: owner of cosmetics company Soap and Glory.
Unable to decide whether it looks scary or not, the only thing we’re left wondering about, was  what the hell happened to her tail?
