Copyright: what you see might not be real

"What You See Might Not Be Real" is a sculpture created by the Chinese artist Chen_Wenling (陈文令). It was displayed at a Beijing gallery in 2009.

The artwork is a critique of the global financial crisis of 2008, with the bull representing Wall Street and the man pinned to the wall representing Bernard Madoff, an American fraudster and financier known for running the largest Ponzi scheme in history.

The bull's fart is a play on words. The Chinese expression "放屁" (fàng pì) literally means "to fart", but in slang means "to bluff or lie".
