Naughty Mannequins

Photographer Kerstin Zu Pan Makes Hallucinatory Art

Kerstin Zu Pan is back with more amazing art. The Berlin-based artist is certainly not afraid to push the limit when it comes to his work.

A familiar rainbow theme is still present in Kerstin Zu Pan's art, but this time around, it is in the form of long luscious hair. Placed on a naked mannequin, the central art piece is the colorful hair.
