Colossal Olmec Head Replica Crushing A Tesla In Mexico City
A replica of a colossal Olmec head is crushing a Tesla car in a vacant lot in Mexico City. Sculptor Chavis Marmol, from Apan, Hidalgo, is responsible for the intervention. He says that the action ''is aiming to explore reflections on contemporary issues through its mix of humour and criticism.'' The work, titled Neo-Ta Meme, ''is addressing Mexico's pre-Hispanic past from a Western neo-colonial perspective.'' (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
