"Does that make me crazy?"

"My heroes had the heart to Lose their lives out on a limb

And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun

And it's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done"

(Crazy - Lyrics by Gnarls Barkley)

 

This is a portait of Anand the majhi (hindi word for boatman), who oftenly poses for me.

It was shot a few weeks ago on the upper terrace of the house in Varanasi (Benaras).

As I am working on a topic reminding the lost Indo-Greek kingdom, I mixed it with another picture of a bust of the Hellenistic period which I took in Le Louvre museum (Paris) in order to play with the viewer's perception.

 

And suddenly this statue smiles,

it's alive...

"Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you're crazy

Maybe we're crazy

Possibly"
