Maurizio Cattelan uses the gallery owner as a base for his project. As a matter of fact, Emmanuel Perrotin agreed to put on a costume, created for him, and to wear it for five weeks. This plushy costume was made by specialists of Italian cinema. A cartoon caricature, this animal would not go unnoticed at Disneyland. Through its shape and colors, it alludes very clearly to the bad reputation of the rabbit.
