L'artista polacco Pawel Althamer � molto noto per le sue sperimentazioni sulla potenza comunicativa e sociale dell'arte. Con le sue opere mette in scena rappresentazioni di figure umane ma anche di persone in carne e ossa, talvolta coinvolgendo gli stessi osservatori. Tra le sue opere va ricordato Balloon (2007), un autoritratto nudo in forma di pallone aerostatico lungo 20 metri che ha sorvolato Milano.
