did he take this photo? can you tell us what goes on here?

It was on the second link posted by Pat dated 5/14 and as far as I know that contained only Serafini’s art work. Indeed the picture itself is reminiscent of many imaged contained in the codex. It strikes me how natural the scene in the photo appears at first, the surrealism creeps up and you get drawn in. First a loose shoe, then a loose world. How on earth such manipulation can seem so ordinary at first glance with so many disturbing details blows me away.

It seems rather erotic/conception driven to me; moving from the banana to Trojan to babies (carriage). The multiplicity of people in large and small form tends to support the thought. An older woman who has stepped out of a shoe (symbolic of a bit of lost life), a young woman on the move, before such experience. Even the clean up of the creative mess is addressed.
