In your daily routine, as you blast your favourite song on your way to work, as you look at that poster on the billboard, as you watch a movie in the evening — without even noticing, you are surrounded by art.  

In the past weeks, a video has emerged on social media, which video shows a boy playing with his own ball in the streets of Madrid. Everything seems absolutely normal so far!
