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.[1] Much of their work is politically themed, often infused with symbols and references to communism and the Soviet Union.[2] 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 in 2004. The exhibit took the form of an anti-war and anti-prejudice art display of mildly erotic photography.[3]
In 2008, Yinling published an autobiography by the title LOVE ERO-Terrorism/Yinling of JOYTOY.[4] In that same year, she provided the voice for Libido Waterfall, a tertiary character in video game Ryū ga Gotoku Kenzan! who was modeled after Yinling.[5]
