==Biography== ===Career=== She began modelling at 16 and started working with photographer Hiraokanovsky Kuratachenko at 19, forming the duo JOYTOY. Kuratachenko is suspected to be in fact Japanese, but he is often labeled a Russian photographer.<ref>{{cite web|title=Katsuro Hiraokanovsky Kuratachenko's photographer profile|url=http://photographers.com/profile/katsurohiraokanovskykuratachenko|access-date=2011-09-15|archive-date=2012-04-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402123316/http://photographers.com/profile/katsurohiraokanovskykuratachenko|url-status=dead}}</ref> Much of their work is politically themed, often infused with symbols and references to communism and the Soviet Union.<ref name=sexrev>{{cite web|title=Yin Ling: The New Face (and Thighs, and Hips, and…) of the Chinese Sexual Revolution|url=http://www.chinese-outpost.com/newsletters/yin-ling-the-new-face-and-thighs-and-hips-and-of-the-chinese-sexual-revolution.asp|work=The Chinese Outpost|access-date=2011-09-15|archive-date=2012-04-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402123336/http://www.chinese-outpost.com/newsletters/yin-ling-the-new-face-and-thighs-and-hips-and-of-the-chinese-sexual-revolution.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref> JOYTOY's campaign has been noteworthy for being overly sexual and provocative in nature. A notable example was an exhibit that was hosted in the National Museum of History (ROC) in 2004. The exhibit took the form of an anti-war and anti-prejudice art display of mildly erotic photography.<ref>{{cite web|title= BMoCA: 18 Solo Exhibitions |url=http://www.caiguoqiang.com/bmoca/|access-date=2011-09-15 | website= CaiGuoQiang.com | author=Cai Guo-Qiang | quote = ''Lovemaking for World Peace'' (2004)}}</ref>
