3.Part II:
Cosplay
 

In contrast, Part II: “Cosplay” and Part IV: “World of Warcraft” document the modern versions of costume-based entertainment. Cosplay originated in Japan as a role-play game based on manga and anime characters, while “World of Warcraft” is currently the most popular online virtual role-player fantasy game with some 10 million global online subscribers. As juxtapositions to Parts I and Parts III (Landplay and Mulian Opera) these two series of photographs are illustrations of modern-day avatars interconnected in a global popular culture beyond a specific time or local tradition.
