Since Squid Game has been all the rage lately, it’s no wonder that they decided to recreate that, too. And just as always: they nailed it! Once again, they used food, drink, and props from around the house and turned them into a brilliant and hilarious low-budget version of the famous Korean series.

Whether or not you like Salvador Dali’s work, it’s hardly possible you haven’t seen one of the most famous photos of him: Dali Atomicus. It’s on the TIME’s list of 100 most influential photos of all time. It was a result of collaboration between Salvador Dali and photographer Philippe Halsman and it was captured in 1948.

In 2017, almost 70 years later, photographer Karl Taylor has recreated this iconic image with modern tools and gear.

He shares the story of recreating this famous photo, and it was such a big project that even BBC documented it.
