"Giant Balloon Face Floats Over Tokyo/The eerie aerial piece was created by the artist collective 目 ("Mé") and features an anonymous face chosen from over 1,000 submissions...."

"The work has been met with a mixed reception, ranging from humor to more subversive interpretations. Some have likened Mé’s piece to The Hanging Balloons, a story by the Japanese horror mangaka Junji Ito in which floating heads with metal nooses set out to kill their human doppelgangers."

Hypoallergenic reports.

"That Floating Head, especially the tinted monochromatic coloring of a vintage photo, reminds me of a Terry Gilliam animation from Monty Python.

"The next Floating Head should be a hedgehog -- not a fox -- repeating "Dinsdale!""

I'll add:

Ha ha. I remember that. You're also causing me to think of that Woody Allen movie segment "Oedipus Wrecks" in which the Woody Allen character's mother looms in the sky over Manhattan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZklxQ4PP7Y8

Temujin, writing independently from Wince, says:

"It looks very 'Monty Pythonish', like something from Terry Gilliam. As such, I would find it both funny and eerie to see floating faces and heads above me. Had I read "The Hanging Balloons" I might have had other thoughts."
