From 2065438 to May 2005, Wang shot a large-scale photographic work in the Palace Museum, which caused widespread controversy. In the photo, the mannequin sits on the cicada's head with her legs spread out, with her feet on tiptoe and her right hand holding the cicada's head. This photo of human body art is controversial because it was taken in a corner of the Palace Museum.

These photos were originally published in Weibo by a blogger named "WANIMAL". On May 17, a number of photos were released with the labels "I am in the Palace Museum" and "I am in Qingling Mausoleum (Ming Tombs)".

After the photos were reprinted and published by the media, they attracted attention. Some netizens think it is artistic, but more netizens question it. "Is the Forbidden City allowed?" Some netizens think that the Forbidden City represents China culture, and taking nude photos in such a solemn place is a blasphemy against China culture.

Facing the query of netizens, the photographer named "WANIMAL" publicly responded on his personal Weibo, "It is nothing new to take nude photos and complete the creation" and said that "being misunderstood is the fate of the expresser."

Wanimal claimed to be a scene designer in Weibo, and studied in the United States as a scene designer. "This profession could have told me that I should create in the environment. I made my creation without affecting anyone. " He said that his works have been published abroad and also on professional industry platforms. However, the specific platform was not disclosed.
