To be fair, some of the breasts do have oddly Photoshopped heads attached to them.

I like the composition and the use of light. The use of dead animals speak of the general decay in our society and the loss of connection with the natural world. Breasts signify the mothers milk the nurturing that the world needs to revive itself from capitalism. The dark makeup around the eyes symbolizes President Obama and our willingness to see the blackness about us. Of course the stark nudity reminds us that beneath our clothing we are all naked.

Boy, somehow this post really confused me. I kinda thought the tits were taxidermy (and was expecting some extreme weirdness), and I was kinda surprised to have girls attached to the tits. Then I stared at it far too long for being at work and all, trying to spot how the girls weren't real; you know, that slightly dead look even the best wax dummies have. Nope couldn't figure it out; they sure looked real to me. Then finally, I figure out it is taxidermy with gratuitous tits thrown in. Ahhhh, now I understand! Doh.

No I thought the same thing at first. The same company makes limited edition dolls that are smaller and have larger eyes and animated features.

Eye of the beholder and all that.
I think the challenge here is to look beyond the breasts. That isn't necessarily easy to do, which is what the challenge is about. See also this and this. If all you can see are the breasts, whether to be offended by them or as fap material, then I think this artist is deliberately taking the piss out of you quite specifically. As for context, I guess it's hard to find and buried really deeply in the site, but this might help a little.
I also don't like any of it much, but there you go.

That's right, Ambrosia Voyeur, he's chosen these models precisely in order to be taking the piss out of you too, just as much as he is taking the piss out of those who are just fapping. That's pretty much what I said, I think.
No, I don't think it's very good or all that clever, but as far as I can see that's exactly what he's doing. He's certainly getting predictable reactions all round. Art as trolling, in short (and not the reverse). Yawn.
