At first I thought this was going to be fantasy or some kind of conceptual piece and the front page photo was faked with Photoshop or something like DALL-E 2 with a prompt like sad minotaur girl lies in street in Italy while tourists watch, photorealistic. Looks like it's actually from some kind of (very well-done) street performance art piece.

Starting to feel what it's like to be living in the era where thinking a photo is real isn't a pretty safe default assumption.

Yeah, I was expecting some 3D walking through Venice in my browser window, something like Google street view but more smooth open space. This was very underwhelming afetr opening to just find some text musing about visiting.
It's almost as if you can't guess what an article will be about based on a two-word title.
It'a a photo of Uffe Isolotto's We Walked the Earth, at the Danish pavillion.
