To all the people who think this is sick. It is. This is the point. Has anyone learned about China? The value of girls there or lack there of… The abuse and deformity to their feet, all the unwanted baby girls because a boy is more valuable, the sex slave and child prostitution problems, and the basic devalue of women that is WORLDWIDE over all. These pictures remind me of artists who took photos of children in the past in England and America before child labor laws. These ghost like visions of overworked and aged beyond their years poor children were REAL. Not posed. Without them we would not have child labor laws as we do today. Sometimes it takes images to force brutal realities and points to be realized.

These pictures are more than skin deep, do research on an artist… his background, culture, even country before you judge. Or just purely stop being ignorant with your comments. Yes these images invoke repulsed and shocked responses because he is bringing attention to REAL problems.

The most horrific pictures I have ever seen have been of the Holocaust. I will never get those images out of my mind. But then again I would never want to… I believe the people that were victims of those atrocities should be remembered as well as the crimes so that we stand up against things of such a horrible nature. I am not arguing that the imagery here is not disturbing… for it is. However, we are taught as children to think before we speak so please think before you post.

I wouldn’t call them beautiful, but I definitely respect the concept. I like the nakedness of it. The people declaring pedophilia need to look deeper.

“Art’s job is to hold a mirror up to life itself.” very well said.

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.

“That’s exactly the point. These are the depictions we find of [grown] women in visual media every day, and it is only that we are inured to them that we don’t find them disgusting. It takes seeing a child in the same setting to realise the horrific way women are depicted.”

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…
