Dulce Pinzon, a Mexican-born female artist living in Brooklyn, captured the lives of New York City Mexican and Latino immigrant workers in a superb series titled The Real Story of the Superheroes. Employed in a range of jobs from nannies, to chefs, to cab drivers, to construction workers, Pinzon photographed these ordinary immigrants "in a satirical documentary style...in their work environment" while they wore costumes in the likeness of various iconic American comic book superheroes. She further uses the photos to highlight and engage the viewer in a dialogue about immigrant remittances ("Noe Reyes from the State of Puebla works as a delivery boy in Brooklyn New York. He sends 500 dollars a week."), which when considering their jobs' laborious nature, low wages, and lack of benefits, seems indeed downright super heroic.
