General information about Searching for Utopia

"Searching for Utopia" is a very beautiful and large work of art by Jan Fabre. Originally set up on the beach at the time of the Beaufort Triennial in 2003, the turtle seems to float above the water bed. Was later moved to downtown where it can still be viewed today. Impressive!
