Colossal Olmec Head Replica Crushing A Tesla In Mexico City
Passers-by are taking photographs and observing a replica of a colossal Olmec head crushing a Tesla car in a vacant lot in Mexico City. The intervention is attributed to the sculptor Chavis Marmol, originally from Apan, Hidalgo, and he says that this action ''aims to explore reflections on contemporary issues through its mix of humour and criticism.'' The work is titled Neo-Ta Meme, which ''addresses Mexico's pre-Hispanic past from a Western neo-colonial perspective.'' (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
