Artist Frank Boelter has created a nine-metre paper boat from the material that is commonly used for packaging milk, and he is sailing it up the Elbe.
London, Aug. 26 : Artist Frank Boelter has created a nine-metre paper boat from the material that is commonly used for packaging milk, and he is sailing it up the Elbe.
The boat is 30 feet long and weighs 55 pounds. Boelter used a 170-square-metre piece of Tetrapack paper to make it.
The 37-year-old artist spent only two hours and 110 pounds on the boat's construction, reports the Daily Mail.
Boelter conceived the idea of making this artwork when he was fiddling with an empty milk carton while sitting at his kitchen table one day. He cut up the carton, and made into a scaled-down model.
He reckons that it will take forty days for his boat to disintegrate into a wet, sinking mass.
It is part of the artist's exhibition named 'Bis ans Ende der Welt' (Until the end of the world).
