This amazing series of pictures comes from photographer Dulce Pinzon, who explained the concept of her project:

 ”The Real Story of the superheroes” reintroduce[s] the Mexican immigrant in New York in a satirical documentary style featuring ordinary men and women in their work environment donning superhero garb, thus raising questions of both our definition of heroism and our ignorance of and indifference to the workforce that fuels our ever-consuming economy.

After the Water, the Clouds by René Magritte, 1926. Oil on canvas, 120 x 80 cm.

After the water, the

someone will hear it
ring. After the answer
the question. Who
picked the flowers?¹

Upgraded Childhood of the Day: Artist Yayoi Kusama made a whole bunch of dreams come true for kids in Australia by letting them run wild with stickers inside her “domestic installation” at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane.

Last month, the museum’s youngest visitors were invited to give Kusama’s white space a colorful makeover, and they happily obliged.

The result — dubbed The Obliteration Room — is currently on display through March 12th as part of the artist’s Look Now, See Forever exhibition.
