given the surreal atmosphere of the photos, i think the artist meant them to be seen metaphorically. i don’t know about other people’s reactions, i’m immediately trying to relate the image of the girl with china. as a country it’s young, it has a rich history but it choose or was forced to ditch it and basically it’s being reborn from it. it was raped in the war decades ago, it’s eager to develop too fast right now, not sure if it’s ready for it. it has its charming side but also cruel at times. etc.

and pedo. some people have to get over the fact that it exists.

What are you implying? It’s “horrific” if women are depicted with sexual connotation? Although I don’t agree with that, but it’s not even a magnitude within the revolt of these pictures…

There is no art to paedophilia. Having worked for an internet provider and seen captured images from the mailboxes of convicted paedophiles, I can tell you there is no art whatsoever. It is inhuman, filthy, and I’ll repeat… IS NOT ARTISTIC.

Compared to some stuff with Asian subjects in it, this is fairly tame. I don’t particularly care for most of the pieces myself, but the piece with the girls and the plastic bags is great (a degree of cultural understanding is required to ‘get’ this one, I think), as is the Pocahontas style pic with all the arrows. I give it the thumbs up.
