How would you react to a balloon invasion?
White balloons spill out the windows and doors of a house, invade a golf course and overflow from a burnt-out car in a series of installations (most famously, London's Covent Garden) by French artist Charles Petillon.
In his Invasions series, Paris-based photographer and installations artist Petillon aims to use balloons to alter the way people perceive familiar things and spaces.
"These balloon invasions are metaphors," said the artist. "Their goal is to change the way in which we see the things we live alongside each day without really noticing them."
"It is our way of looking at things that I am trying to transform and revive and therefore make it possible to go beyond practical perception to aesthetic experience: a visual emotion," he added.

American Cool
The National Portrait Gallery is hosting an exhibit titled American Cool.
The exhibit explores the "coolest" figures of generations past. But what exactly does cool mean? It's a seemingly unique trait and supreme compliment that carries a global fascination. People obsess over the mysterious and inexplicable phenomenon - some going as far to spend their lives trying to emulate and capture the cool factor - the essence bestowed among the esteemed and elite.
This exhibit looks at the American concept and features those who have contributed to an artistic vision of the American culture movement. The movements might have changed throughout the years, Walt Whitman to Kurt Cobain; Billie Holiday to Tony Hawk, but each are/were significantly revered for their special something.
Take a look at some of the creme de la creme - the coolest people and their featured portrait.

On May 3rd the exhibit will open at the Christian Dior Museum in Normandy. The book will be available on April 30th, but you can pre-order today!
In the mean time, enjoy a brief assortment of Dior's enchanting moments.
