Gottfried Helnwein photo response

In this image by Gottfried Helnwein, there is a close up of a part of a face with a man climbing up the side. I think that the man climbing the image is a painter and he has created this piece of a face. I believe that it is a documentary image. It looks as if it is photoshopped but I believe that the man is a painter and it is just a photo of him on his painting. The ''rope'' that the man is hanging from looks as if it is a hair on the girls face. Little elements such as that could be photoshopped. I think the photographers intent was for people t think when they saw this image, that they could make up their own meaning as to what the photo symbolized or was trying to convey. To me this image shows the man putting detail and admiring his work. The difference in scale between the man and the girls face adds to my impression of the photograph because it sakes it look as if the man is standing on her face, which changes your perspective of the image.
