These have both strong childlike and gory (especially Little Red Riding Hood) aspects which makes them really strong and eerie pieces. They are called 'Anatomy of a Fairy Tale,' and they're from Julia Murakami.
I love subversive and dark fairytale interpretations and dark and twisted dioramas too. Therefore, in my eyes, this collection of pieces are simply awesome. A little more gore would have been nice, but the existing details are amazing.
Implications - I have to admit I never thought I would see fairytale and homicides in the same sentence, but the title just seemed to perfectly sum up Julia Murakami's Miniature Murderous Dioramas! I cant wait to see more work for Murakami!
