Going by the name of 'La Princess', the beast is spreading its way around the city after appearing during Sunday night to shock the commuters at Liverpool Lime Street on Monday morning. The massive monster is Liverpool's first glimpse of the La Machine exhibition, being held in the city this weekend. The spider weighs 37 tonnes and stands 50 feet high and will appear at different locations around the city and will be manually operated to walk through the streets of Liverpool over the next few days. The spider is made out of steel and poplar wood and will be operated by 12 people strapped to its frame in order to make it move when it comes "alive" on Friday.
Such an original way of informing people and creating interest. Brilliantly ambitious! I look forward to seeing what else the project will reveal at the weekend, rumour has it there is going to be a "spectacular finish" on Sunday.
The people behind the innovative project are the same people that caused a stir in London in 2006 with Sultan's Elephant where an estimated 1 million people went to watch the elephant move around the city.
