17. Illuminated Balloon Heads
Artist Information
“Illuminated Balloon Heads” are temporary monuments that photographically portray a cross-section of Detroit citizens and display them on balloons that are 10 feet tall and illuminated from within. The concept aims to give voices to people like you and me and to present them in an equal way.

Mentalgassi
Mentalgassi is an Berlin based artist collective working in the fields of photography and urban interventions. Their work usually transforms everyday objects into something unusual and creates surprising moments. The materials used normally are photography, paper and foil, scissors, glue and a relevant location to put the artwork.
“Mentalgassi’s artistic proposals are 100% urban, and through different
techniques they interact with the street objects to create forms and
shapes that make a passerby smile. They combine photography, image
manipulation, sculpturing and street art; they manipulate photographs
and expose them around the world – creating a connection
between the public and them.“
