Beyond the glamorous side of Buenos Aires, there is a Side B of the tourist and European-looking landscapes that many are unaware of, and compiled in a popular Instagram account called "thewalkingconurban." The trending accounts exhibit many bizarre corners of Greater Buenos Aires, including a huge water tank that looks like a kettle, a cement dinosaur, and a moment of dear football star Diego Maradona scoring a faulty goal against England - the 'Hand of God' monument.'

The inventions are a cult of "pastiche" because they mix styles without aesthetic rules and many of them arise from waste materials. Diego Flores who manages the popular Instagram account is an enthusiast of the urban culture of the city. The account has more than 390,000 followers.
