NEW DELHI: Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei has recreated the famous image of a three-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 last week on a pebbly beach on Lesbos island for the picture for India’s English-language news magazines, India Today.
