Real Life Superheroes
August 27, 2010
Ran across this thoughtful and unique social commentary told through photos. The project, called Superheroes, is the child of Dulce Pinzón. It consists of 20 color photographs of Mexican and Latino immigrants dressed in the costumes of popular American and Mexican superheroes. Along with each photo is a mini biography and a sentence explaining how much money each person sends back to their families overseas. Even though some of the photos aren’t well staged or perfectly executed, or perhaps because of that, the series is pretty powerful.
