What is a Superhero ? What is the collective imagination ?

​

An unlikely Spiderman,pathetic and defeated, is suspended at tens of centimeters above the ground,wrapped tight, with a roll of cellophane, to a column in the middle of an urban crossroads.

 

The image has a force at once sublime and terrible,but the real show is in the reaction of the passers-by,encouraged (by a carer who accompanies the Superhero) to take advantage of this incredible oppurtunity to be confronted with the normality of the defeat of the invincible.
