Li Shuang's 2015 photo showing her walking around in New York's Times Square on a snowy Valentine's Day, wearing a huge sign on her back that says, "Marry Me for Chinese Citizenship", is a case in point.

Chen Zhe's twin series of images, The Bearable (2007-10) and Bees (2010-12), tells the story of how the artist found an online support group after she started posting pictures of the scars she had inflicted on herself.
