A disturbing series of photographs about the world of street monkeys in the city of Jakarta, Indonesia, created by Finnish photographer Perttu Saska.

Trained and dressed as humans to ask for money to passersby, these monkeys have now become real objects, even wearing doll heads to accent mimicry, turning them into real living toys. A cruel phenomenon that leaves a strong sense of unease.

Although this needs to be shown and addressed, I shouldn't have looked. Now I feel sick to my stomach.
