The Weird Girls Project is an ongoing art experiment created and produced concept
artist Kitty Von-Sometime. It evolves ‘Episode’ by ‘Episode’ and the participants mix
between those involved from the beginning and new members increasing with every event.
The latest special photo set for The Weird Girls Project were shot in Shanghai by Tang Ting
when Kitty made her first exploratory trip to China last year. Kitty said, “The concept of freeing
women from daily behavior is a particularly enjoyable and challenging idea to engage with
in China, and the production of such large-scale events with a huge language barrier
is also an adventure in itself.” The whole set of Shanghai special can be also view via flickr.


Here are couple of other episodes.

in the days of the Shogun, Japan’s authorities would mark criminals with tattoos
to distinguish them from the rest of the population. These highly visible
tattoos usually took the form of a black ring around the arm; with rings added
as convictions increased.
