ClassificationsPHOTOGRAPH
Label TextThis photograph, which appeared as a Valentine's Day centerfold in the East Village Eye, shows Heiser's fragmented view of the event unfolding before him. An elephant forms the stage for two acrobats: a man visible only as hands and forearms on the elephant's head and a woman who poses on the animal's shoulder.
