The purpose of sharing these photos were not to convince anyone that they are anything other than what they are presented as. They are art - nothing more, nothing less - and as such, certain non-essential aspects of each photograph have been removed to convey the emotion that the artist intended. I don't understand why the subject of "shopping" was even brought up as it was clearly stated in the accompanying paragraph description that harnesses were used to protect the artist from unnecessary injury. If you cannot see said harnesses, it's obvious they were removed. Art is about conveying emotions, not about trying to convince you of anything through faking photographs.

Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.

It seems apologies may be in order. My purpose in commenting on the shopping/not shopping was a discussion I was having that in my brain was focused on technique - which is a part of photography. I wasn't bemoaning the fact that the artist had used harnesses and then edited them out, I was commenting on it as part of his overall technique. Apparently I didn't do a very good job of communicating that. I think they are strikingly cool images. My thing is that whenever I see a strikingly cool image I want to know "how'd they do that?" I was discussing that aspect, mostly.
Sorry for derailing the thread. Muh bad.
