Last week we covered Peruvian artist Iván Sikic's installation visualizing income inequality with balloons, thumbtacks, and a gold brick, It's My Party and I Do What I Want To. The 99 silver balloons reflect the 99%, whose very existence supports the brick (the 1%) and keeps them away from the thumbtacks (the danger of economic uncertainty).A photo posted by Iván Sikic (@ivansikic) on Jul 29, 2015 at 4:38am PDT
