Not wanting to be slaves to standardised children stories - where princesses are saved by Prince Charming, the fairy god mother makes dreams come true, and life is lived happily ever after - Chinese artists Lin Ching Man and To Hok Ming have stepped out of fantasy to bravely face reality in their joint art exhibition

A-Lift, OCT-LOFT, Shenzhen, China until 18th April 2012.
