For the first music video from his upcoming metal album, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei recreated scenes from his 81-day imprisonment in 2011 on a set modeled after his actual jail cell. The video depicts some humiliating moments from his imprisonment, such as a forced shower in front of guards accompanied by a head shaving, as well as a bizarre drag sequence. Australian cinematographer Chrisopher Doyle shot the nightmarish clip, which has already been banned in China, as has the search term "Ai Weiwei." [via BBC]

Before you even ask, the answer is "Yes, the loads these bicyclists of Shanghai carry are real." Photographer Alain Delorme shot them during an artist's residency in Shanghai, one in which he spent countless days biking and photographing the ordinary working folks of his temporary city of residence. We love the contrast of the modern and mechanical, the gritty and the sunny.
