Julien Berthier is a sculptor and a conceptual artist. His work titled “Love, Love” is not in fact a sinking sailboat, appearances to the contrary notwithstanding. Bertheir started with a 6.5 meter yacht which he cut in half and added a new keel to allow the boat to remain upright while appearing to be sinking. The modified vessel/sculpture also has a motor, so it can move around, no doubt startling everyone everywhere it goes. There is a photograph of “Love, Love” out of the water as well as a video of the craft after the jump.
