That's Johan Lorbeer just hanging out and interacting with his viewers during his "Still Life Performance" (this particular pose is called "Tarzan" - don't ask us why ...).
Is it magic or does Johan really have superhuman ability? Ah Boon has more photos and Johan's little secret: Link | Johan Lorbeer's website (in German, click on the HTTP link, then Projekte, and then Still-Life-Performance) - Thanks Johnhow!
My first thought upon seeing these photos (in an email) was "photoshop"; my next (upon seeing that the crowd were actually responding to his presence) was "wonder where the support is?"
These days we KNOW it's a trick, the only question is how it's done... Doesn't take much research to find a photo like the one Tres linked, either...
Does that make us wise? Or cynical?
We know too much these days to be fooled by such tricks.
