It’s true! A large giant and two younger giants have recently been reported being seen in Clermont, Kentucky woods. Reports are they are seemingly friendly.
Others report that the “mother giant” and her two children love playing with the visiting children. Apparently, only adults who still have the ability to have fun and let themselves go are allowed in on the fun.
Deep in the 16,000 plus acres of the Bernheim Arborteum and Research Forest, just outside of Clermont, giants are walking the earth. Well, maybe not walking, but, with a little imagination they are “alive” in the mind of a child.
Brought to life by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, Mama Loumari with her children, Little Nis and Little Elina, and her third baby Giant, (who is currently living in Mama’s belly), can be seen guarding the woods and delighting humans of all ages. Hear the story as told by Dambo in the video above.
BUT! There are a few rules the giants want folks to follow if they want to enjoy their forest:
Thomas Dambo is an artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Together with his crew, Thomas makes beautiful and fun projects out of “trash” / recycled materials, which they find around the city dumpsters. By doing this he hopes to inspire people to have fun and think of trash as a resource. See all of his projects from giants to trolls across the world here.
