1. Unhappily Ever After - Jeff Hong (The Lion King)

It is quite impossible to be a free Lion in this modern times. Simba can only be his own King in the zoo, with his forever-alone a

2. Unhappily Ever After - Jeff Hong (Alice In Wonderland)

Alice in Wonderland becomes "Alice in Drug-land". It seems that Hong, the artist thinks the story itself is very pathetic. Alice was insane, living in her own dream. And In when she was back to reality and out of her dream, she can only continue her wonderland adventure by taking drugs.

3.Martin De Pasquale

Martin De Pasquale 's ps images were very magical and dramatic. His work tells a story of shaving, not by shaver but his hand and grass mower. This was disgusting but frenziedly charming.

4. New Species Research Project - Chuang pei-xin

This was a scientific research on Pikachu, the famous animated character. The whole body of work was displayed in a museum manner.

I was attracted by the fact that Pikachu was given a life when the artist took away his life by slicing its skin. It becomes a real creature, a history, an evidence showing its existence becomes more real than reality.

5. Dictator with Toy Animals by Chunlong Sun

Celebrity is a series of manipulated photos by retoucher Chunlong Sun, from Beijing and photographer Zhou Yulong.

He created a hilarious set of portraits featuring the world's most notorious dictators, including Muammar Gaddafi, clutching cute stuffed animals. This depicts that even the most harsh people has his soft side.

" Your Face, Your Fate"

When I first saw this image, I was deeply confused if people get happier after reformation.

Do they really feel disgraceful about their naturally born appearance?

Plastic surgery was known as a tool to get beautiful and let people gain self-esteem. Yet, they didn't obtain it on "their own" (their own in-build condition). Is this happiness real or fake?

In fact, plastic surgery is very popular in Korean society. Korean has a strong desire getting themselves more and more beautiful. It was known that most of the 16 year-olds beg their parents to pay for their first surgery as a birthday gift.

7. Freak Show - Diane Arbus

This is a portrait of transvestite. Diane Arbus spent her lifetime, uncovering the neglected weirdness and hypocrite in the society.

Arbus has once said when we meet someone on the street, we could only noticed his or her defects. This is such an odd tendency. Since people are dissatisfied with this manner, we create an attempt of dissimulation. So we always pretend to be usual, while others often notice your freakishness.

8. Natural Beauty - Armpit Hair (Ben Hopper)
