惠灵顿美术馆屋顶上的“噩梦”手雕

新西兰屋顶上的“噩梦”手雕吓坏了当地居民

This is hands-down the scariest sculpture they’ve ever seen.

这无疑是他们见过的最恐怖的雕塑。

A 16-foot sculpture of a hand with a scowling face on it was installed on the roof of a New Zealand gallery — horrifying locals who say the massive artwork is the stuff of nightmares.

新西兰一家画廊的屋顶上安装了一个16英尺长的手形雕塑，上面有一张皱眉的脸。当地人说，这件巨大的艺术品简直就是噩梦。

Australian artist Ronnie van Hout’s work, dubbed “Quasi,” was hoisted by helicopter Monday on the rooftop of the Wellington City Gallery, where it peers over the city center, the Guardian reported.

But some residents are freaked out by the extremely large extremity and its face-like features gawking down at them.

但一些居民被这条极其巨大的肢体吓坏了，它的脸状特征正呆呆地望着他们。

Local Calliope Ryder told Newshub the sculpture looks like “a Lovecraftian nightmare has come to life,” referring to horror writer H. P. Lovecraft.

当地的卡利奥普·赖德对新闻媒体说，这座雕塑看起来像是“一个爱情魔术师的噩梦降临了”，指的是恐怖作家H.P.Lovecraft。

She added that it makes her “deeply uncomfortable and perplexed.”

她补充说，这让她“深感不安和困惑”。

On Twitter, residents were equally disturbed.

在twitter上，居民们同样感到不安。

“What is this fresh horror? Please return to sender, it’s creepy,” tweeted Wellington resident @adelespencil.

“这是什么新鲜的恐怖?”惠灵顿居民@adelespencil发推文说。

The artwork has previously called Christchurch home but was loaned to Wellington for a three-year residency.

这幅作品之前被称为克赖斯特彻奇之家，但后来被租借到惠灵顿居住三年。

“Quasi was created in 2016 to grace the roof of Christchurch Art Gallery following the 2011 earthquake,” Wellington City Gallery said in a statement.

惠灵顿市美术馆在一份声明中说：“在2011年地震后，为了装饰基督城美术馆的屋顶，于2016年设计了准手雕。”

“No longer required, it will haunt City Gallery’s roof this season, presiding over a Civic Square largely abandoned in the wake of our own 2016 quake.”

“不再需要了，这一季它将出现在城市画廊(City Gallery)的屋顶上，主持2016年地震后基本废弃的市政广场。”
