They're squid heads and we like them – a new show in Paris for Yumiko Utsu

With her starting blocks firmly placed in surreality, Japanese photographer Yumiko Utsu presents vaguely repulsive but highly astute visual dichotomies that look a bit kitsch and smell like the sea.

Why not. Now you can see them exhibited at Paris’ Galerie LWS with Mayumi Hosokura in Natures until May 19
