Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz's Snow Globes at Artribune
Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz have been living and working together for 23 years. For about 15 years, they have been producing their most famous series: snow globes. These sculptures are enclosed in small glass spheres filled with white snowflakes, resembling airport souvenirs. However, inside are peculiar scenes: unsettling, romantic, surreal, and sometimes macabre. Muñoz describes them as small 'samples' of the world, telling cinematic stories—freeze-frames from unknown narratives.
