Version 0 of 1.

Ahn Jun's death-defying self-portraits may look Photoshopped, but she insists they're not. Positioning herself precariously at the top of high rise buildings around the world, she uses a self-timer to take as many pictures as possible per second until the memory card is full.

In the most dangerous shots, such as when she is using her whole body to lean dangerously over the edge, a harness is sometimes used. She explains: "Of course it is not a safe situation. But I always try to be careful."

Out of the thousands of images, she then selects the "one or two that can subvert the context … images in which my body looks peaceful or aggressive, rather than fearful".
