China's Ai Weiwei imitates photo of Syrian refugee toddler on the beach
AP Published in Ahram Online on 01 - 02 - 2016

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has recreated the famous image of a 3-year-old Syrian child who drowned in Turkey last year by staging a photo of himself lying face down on a beach in Greece.
The photograph last year of the child lying on a Turkish beach triggered international outrage as people saw the helpless toddler as the devastating human face of the refugee crisis in Europe.
Ai posed for the picture on a pebbly beach on Lesbos island last week for one of India's largest English-language news magazines, India Today.
Ai has set up a studio on Lesbos, the main entry point for refugees traveling to Europe.
His photograph was displayed at an art fair in New Delhi over the weekend and many visitors took pictures of it.
