Giant 18 m inflatable great white shark on a plaza

In 2020, Digital Inflatables showed an 18 m inflatable great white shark, blue on its back and white underneath, lying on a paved plaza in front of a glass building marked SAGA. A second inflatable shark is visible behind it. The post names neither the place nor the client; at this scale, the animal can be seen from afar and draws passers-by.
What does the photo of the 18 m inflatable shark show?
A large inflatable great white shark lying on a plaza in front of a glass building bearing the word SAGA, with a second shark behind it.
The blue back and white belly match the real animal; a few passers-by and a motorbike at the edges of the frame give a sense of scale.
The caption gives only the shark’s size and a hashtag about inflatable art.
How is an 18 m inflatable animal made?
It starts from a 3D model of the animal, split into large fabric panels that are printed and sewn; blowers keep it inflated.
At this size, ground anchoring matters as much as the shape: straps, ballast and stakes are planned from the design stage. The guide to inflatables and wind sets out the limits.
The guide to custom inflatable lead times shows how much time a large piece needs.

A giant animal makes a strong image that gets photographed and shared, for an exhibition, an aquarium, a festival or a campaign.
Giant inflatable characters and animals deflate and travel, so they can be set up at several sites in turn.
