Chainsaw accidentally ignites gigantic modern art bunny

All they had to do was carefully dismantle this gigantic fluffy white rabbit — and they sent it up in flames instead!

Ignited by a spark from a chainsaw being used to take apart the mammoth modern art piece, a fire ravaged the poor hare and sadly left him with nothing but an arm, ear and torso.

        

The colossal creation, dubbed “Moon Rabbit,” was put on display in Taiwan at the Taoyuan Land Art Festival by Dutch artist and builder Florentijn Hofman, Central European News reports.

The massive bunny was on display for 11 days on the roof of a former naval base building.

Hofman — who once built a jumbo yellow rubber ducky and paraded it around the globe — was inspired by a Chinese folk tale about a rabbit who serves Chang’e, a goddess who calls the moon her home, according to CNN.

His latest creation is made of waterproof paper, wood, styrofoam and more than 12,000 pieces of high-density polyethylene fiber material.

When workers were asked to disassemble the gargantuan piece of art and began using a chainsaw to break apart the wood holding the bunny in place, a single spark from it started a blaze which quickly incapacitated the hopper.
