Earlier this month, artist REBVS hung a giant goldfish at the Santa Monica rings by the beach. Tourists and locals alike passed the giant art piece on their morning walks, with some giving it a long look before moving on and others getting in closer for an inspection. No reason or statement has been given to us or anyone else, it's up to you to interpret this work of public art. Photographs by Tyler Gianesini.
