The massive Flip Flops Monkey Sao Paulo, Brazil was designed and built by a group of students for Pixelshow 2010.
Made entirely out of brightly colored flip flops, the huge art exhibit not only looks cool but is also one that has eco credentials as well. Once the Flip Flops Monkey is eventually dismantled, its ingredients will find second lives providing comfortable and breezy footwear for the residents of Sao Paulo.
