THE BOAT SHAPED LIKE A GIANT ZIP

“When Moses thought of parting the sea you can bet he never thought of using a zip. Japanese artist Yasuhiro Suzuki though has created a motorboat designed to look like a giant version of the fastening, with the wake it leaves behind in the water meant to represent its teeth. Suzuki made a scale model of his design back in 2004 but has only now unveiled the full-sized vessel. Describing his creation, the artist said: ‘This work is a boat modeled after a zipper tab. ‘As the vessel glides through the water, the wake looks like a zipper coming undone, suggesting the image of the sea opening up. ‘The Zipper Ship will travel to and fro between Takamatsu and Megijima [in Japan] and will also carry passengers.” w/ photos.
