I wonder how many people called the Coast Guard when they saw Julien Berthier's 'Love-Love' "sinking" in the water. This crafty art installation isn't actually sinking, it just appears to be.
Julien Berthier constructed 'Love-Love' out of an abandoned yacht. He cut the boat in half and installed a new keel, which lets the boat sail at a 45 degree angle. I don't like sailing at an angle of 180 degrees, so I'd probably hate to be on board Julien Berthier's 'Love-Love'. Berthier's description of the project appears below.
