Description:
You might not believe your eyes when you see this one! But it’s exactly what you think: a shark embedded in the roof of a house… Bill Heine asked his sculptor friend John Buckley to create this work to protest against the use of nuclear power after the attacks in Japan and the Chernobyl accident. The local authorities gave Heine a hard time at first as he did not have a permit for this instalment, but in the end the eight-meter, 200 kilo shark managed to stay in place and become a tourist attraction and monument against pollution and nuclear energy.
