Notes
Chairman 'Who', If You Marry the Secretary of State's Wife You Will Become Chairman Hu (2011) depicts schematic male and female faces in profile — a generic blonde and a sharp-featured dark-haired male gaze at each other. His large nose would fit exactly into the strange cavity where her eyes should be, in a crude allusion to other bodily insertions. A knowing reference to the corruption of the Chinese Communist Party’s incestuously small inner circles? Almost definitely.
