Inspired by the story of Bruno the “problem bear,” Amsterdam-based Japanese artist Eiko Ishizawa created the “The Great Sleeping Bear” sleeping bag in tribute to his unfortunate demise. Back in 2006, Bruno had wandered across the border from the Italian Alps into Bavaria before being put down by officials who feared he might bring harm to the locals.
“What interested me in this story was that this bear was generating many illusions in people, as ‘the realities’ by just crossing the borderline between countries,” Ishizawa wrote. “In order to recreate such illusions, I have created a realistic bear as an [sic] sleeping bag as a boundary between the culture and the wild nature.”
