A closer look
Forcing adults to play hide-and-seek in the mud to find sculptures made of literal garbage is Thomas Dambo's brilliant contribution to global tourism. The Danish artist builds massive, whimsical trolls out of scrap wood and recycled materials, then hides them in obscure forests around the world. He refuses to drop exact GPS pins, forcing visitors to follow cryptic treasure maps. It is an interactive scavenger hunt that perfectly tricks lazy people into taking a nature hike.
