At first glance, the scene seems surreal. Seven statues of a small naked boy relieving himself, are chained together outside of a souvenir shop. Yet it's all taken for granted in Brussels. Its civic identity has been tied to a statue known as the “Manneken Pis,” since the 17th century. The original, standing on a street corner only a few yards away from where I made this image, is just one foot high, and is prone to being stolen from time to time. To make sure these oversized souvenir replicas are not stolen, a merchant has created a chain gang in bronze and stone, a work of incongruous art in itself. They come in various sizes, finishes and materials and even face in different directions. They stand before a window filled with scores similar statues in smaller sizes. The shop has even constructed a special wooden ramp for these slaves to commerce. They do not come cheaply – two of them carry 60 Euro price tags. This is one of those street scenes that do not require much photographic expertise. I did not need to photographically interpret the subject, because the content is expressive in itself -- as street photography, symbolism, incongruity, and human values.
