The Wild Images Team came across this band of giant headless zombies while we were exploring Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Of course, these are not real zombies but instead part of a large iron sculpture collection known as Agora that has existed in Grant Park for several decades. Created by famed artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, it symbolizes the years she spent living under Soviet rule after World War II, with the giant military parades that would worship leaders who committed acts of human rights abuses and genocide. The headless sculptures represent the population who think with their instincts and emotions over their intellect, hence their lack of heads. We captured this image along with many others throughout Chicago during one of our stays there. The Wild Images Team has captured many other photos throughout downtown Chicago, including the blue skyscrapers of The Grant and One Museum Park, which is available for sale in our store. Blog posts from Chicago have documented the view of the Wabash Avenue elevated train, the ornate art deco brown buildings of old town Chicago, the interesting curious foxes of the small green space, when The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina sat at the stone desk, the hidden colorful fire escape framed by trees, the day The Wild Images Team finally found the heart of Chicago, the moment when giant headless zombies took over Grant Park, and at the head of the Navy Pier where sits the bronze sculpture Captain On The Helm. Blog posts from the nearby state of Minnesota include the moment that The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina becomes the Jolly Green Giant, the moment that The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina becomes the Little Green Sprout, and a scene of The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina underneath a life size Jolly Green Giant. Blog posts from the somewhat nearby state of Texas include the art created by the line of sunken monuments at Cadillac Ranch and the textures created by thick layers of paint covering the monuments at Cadillac Ranch. A blog post from nearby state of Missouri includes the Route 66 sign of The Uranus Fudge Factory.
