Happy Croco is a luminous 20m long sculpture with a backbone made of traffic cones. This urban crocodile uses two types of LEDs and low energy light bulbs. It is a puzzle made up of different objects - a playful and funny installation that carries a heavier but clear significance.
In the day, the crocodile looks harmless, and even cute...
Happy Croco is both a work of land art, design, a light source and a visual art installation. This installation’s relation to the theme comes from the delightful crocodile that the artist brings into the city, but upon closer examination, it is made from our everyday discarded items that have been given a new lease of, and a most delightful, life.
But at night, the danger lurks in the dark with mostly the eyes visible and glinting in the dark, reminding us of the hidden dangers of the plastic we dispose daily...
Bibi shares that through his artwork, he explores "the mix of urban culture"...
... the heart of the jungle ...
... and the heart of the urban space of Singapore ...
