Uh, actually, that was another person behind her getting ready to do the first ever rabbit ears, but, as with many things experimental, it completely failed.

The picture shows two of those extra ‘feet’; the other one (to the right) is a bit faint though. Those and a third ‘foot’ make up the base of a stand that reaches up (likely the back of the woman’s neck) and helps steady her for the long exposure shot.
