I took this picture at Karachi’s Nautanki Mela. It shows a peep show in which the star attraction is half-woman and half-animal. People pay money to see this beautiful yet beastly chimera. Of course, it is pure artistry – a young girl is positioned just so to create the illusion of a half-woman. For me, this image captures the fine line between fantasy and the exploitation of the female gender.’ – Stephan Andrew/ White Star
Do you think this image is beautiful or exploitative? Have you ever attended a peep show in Pakistan? What’s the most fantastical creature you’ve ever seen?
