Kira with Lavrenenko the Great in a Trance - Moscow Train Yards - 1991

Valery Lavrenenko, aka Lavrenenko the Great, in a trance as he prepares himself in the Moscow train yards. A few minutes after I took this photo, he pierced his cheeks and his forearms with wires and pulled a 64 tonne train, walking backwards.
