"El Coloso"
I saw the "Grito" last night on TV, was moved by seeing all the people celebrating, although there was a wtf point when a 20 meter high statue of a nameless independence fighter was erected on the Zocalo(?).
I can't even explain properly why I find this disquieting. It's so over the top "official art" and designed to inspire awe that I recoil. Also, it kind of reminds me of the plaster curious they sell to tourists in Tijuana, except for the 20 meters and 8 tons thing.
