It's one of a series of artworks - has to do with male alienation or something like that; I've been trying to find the artist's site again. The pieces were a collection called something like "Being Joshua" or "Finding Joshua" - the creepy fakey male character represents "maleness" or something of that nature (it's been so long since I last looked into this that I probably have it all wrong - other than it being art).

Thanks I was actually hoping for an answer!

Upvoting for finding it, because I couldn't! Thanks!

Yes - Charlie White's "Understanding Joshua" - and I was wrong about what the work represented (not only wrong, but ashamed as well)...

Not "male alienation" or such; Joshua represents "human frailness" - it is really an amazing set of photographs, once you understand what is going on (and provided you have an ounce of empathy in you, and aren't some variant of an MRA/PUA).
