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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chroma-installation) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder), the central art piece is the [colorful hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-steinberg-and-associates).

**Implications** - As this photo series proves, shock-based advertising is still highly viable amongst North American audiences. Consumers are always on the prowl for the unusual, and marketers can garner much attention from their target demographic by using images that are graphic or unexpected in nature.
