The skeletal structure is seen lying on its back and has unique details that make it stand out. Gino De Dominicis has a reputation for [uncanny artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) that attracts audiences by perking their curiosity. If the skeleton was to stand it would reach over 90 feet. The artist built this monument before his death, and it has been moved around Europe since. The Gino De Dominicis' Calamita Cosmica is a tribute to the human body and perhaps even symbolic towards the great talent of its creator. Nevertheless, this [gigantic skeleton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog) will catch the eye of any passerby, and have them gawking at these massive bones in a state of wonder. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gigantic Sculpture Artworks:** Creating larger-than-life art installations for public spaces can capture audiences and become popular tourist attractions. - **Macabre Tourism:** Visitors are drawn to unique and unusual attractions like giant skeletal sculptures as part of a trend towards dark tourism. - **Public Art Installations:** Creating art installations in public spaces can boost tourism, draw attention to a city or community, and create a sense of community engagement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artistic Design:** There is a niche for artists interested in creating large-scale sculptures for public display. - **Tourism:** Parks, attractions and destinations have an opportunity to create unique installations to draw visitors. - **City Planning:** Incorporating public art installations as part of city planning can change the landscape, showcase the community's culture and attract visitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Virant Monumental Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meow-wolfs-group-exhibition.md) - [Gas Rig Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/striking-art-installation.md) - [Interactive Kinetic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-kinetic-sculptures.md) - [Artful Meditative Sculptural Caves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-on-space.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [UK-Based Modern Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relics-in-the-landscape.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Futuristic Museum Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unnatural-history-museum-of-singapore.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md)
