There is a trace of Absurd World here, but I would not file it twice. The man carries the photograph. The absurd part arrives later, over his shoulder, disguised as a backpack with a face.
He looks straight at the camera. Cigarette against his chest, watch, rings, no attempt to disappear. That is where the picture holds. Then you notice the cartoon face behind him and the frame shifts slightly. Not into a joke. Just somewhere stranger.
Technical: Leica M10 Monochrom · Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2.
