Wang Yiqun

Something odd to chase away the Monday blues for those of you half way around the world (it’s nearing midnight here).

Wang Yiqun explores the boundary between beauty and horror with his photographs of faceless women in the series ‘My Beauty’.

From NetEase:

Wang Yiqun’s works are full of narrative arrangements. His manipulation of models, deliberate choices of settings and specific requirements of props are all footnotes to the storyline and complements to the photographer’s world view. Together, they give his photos a cinematic visual effect. The portraits are expressionless, and the lost facial details make it all the harder for the viewers to locate their identities.

More works here and here.
