London swimmer

If you’re walking around the south bank of the Thames between Tower Bridge and City Hall in the next few days you’ll see this giant sculpture of a man swimming through the grass.

Its 35 feet long and will be on display until the 23 September to promote a new tv series on the Discovery Channel called London Ink, a show about tattooing based on the show Miami Ink. Another sculpture is apparently going to be placed at Victoria Station on Thursday 20 September. I think it looks quite interesting and breaks up a bare piece of grass. Below is a short video clip of the swimmer being installed.
