Mika Kan

Mika Kan has drawn attention as an artist for her photographs of life-sized, pregnant love dolls (Do Love Dolls Dream of Fetuses?). Using the techniques of her Post-Mortem Photography series that documented images of the deceased with wet plate photography, these works from her Pre-Alive Photography series capture life-sized fetus dolls.
