Implications - This faux Winehouse cadaver was developed in 2008, long before the soulful R&b songstress met an untimely end. Nevertheless, the controversy that Marco Perego faced for this installation seems more than warranted. But that doesn't take away from the fact that these images are gripping and highly artistic.
