\n\u2018love love\u2019 as the boat is called is perhaps one of Julien Berthier\u2019s more unusual sculptural installations (see his website<\/a> for some more interesting items). The floating sculpture is made from a large sailboat that has been modified to appear as if it is capsizing. despite its battered appearance the boat is fully functional and able to move around thanks to a built-in motor.<\/p>\n

To create the piece, a 6.5 meter yacht was cut in half and a new keel was added to allow the boat to remain upright in the sinking position.<\/p>\n

Since its construction Berthier has taken the boat out on numerous trips inside harbours like Canary Wharf in London and in Normandy, France.<\/p>\n
