A balloon artist and photographer
travel the world surprising people with improvised, inflatable crowns
and offer a deep view into the nature of joy.
The simple act of
twisting a balloon for a complete stranger can make people instant
friends. This idea animated balloon artist Addi Somekh and photographer
Charlie Eckert to improvise balloon crowns for unsuspecting people
throughout 35 countries and document their reactions. Part photography
book, part sociological study, part spontaneous party, Inflatable Planet features over 200 photos from this international experiment in joy.
