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!
Course it could be that they just haven't noticed him yet. I mean why would anyone notice a man standing over their head?
this is neato
We know too much these days to be fooled by such tricks.
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?
