The Ken Kagami 'TOYS'A'SS' collection is quite the shocker. The self-explanatory name of the exhibit is a reflection of Kagami's twisted sense of humor and subversion of childhood trappings.
The pieces from the series feature Barbie dolls, teddy bears and other sweet childhood trinkets in very compromising positions. The series is definitely rated R.
Regardless, the Ken Kagami 'TOYS'A'SS' exhibit is the product of an outrageously wild imagination. It isn't hard to see the concepts behind each disturbing piece from the series, with social commentary throughout.
