Exercise: Hasan and Hussain Essop.
From this short interview it would seem that these two men are confused about the world in which they live. Their faith precludes them from certain actions that their country allows and they would like to partake in. There is no pretence that these images record true events but they do represent actions that could take place. Theirs is a real world upon which they project themselves in tableau.
This is in the style of established Tableau Vivant as practiced by the likes of Ryan Schude, Takayuki Nakazawa and Hiroshi Manaka but the Essops employ themselves instead of others.

The practice of photomontage has been used since the earliest days of photography, often with a political message.
John Heartfield
The Essops continue this tradition with a new twist.
