Ma poupée japonaise "…composed of 23 images and created in 2002) Mario A.'s references were to be found in Hans Bellmer, in Araki's photography and in the Japanese erotic-steep cartoons. The main reference of The World Is Beautiful is the album Die Welt ist schön by Albert Renger-Patzsch, one of the most representative work in the German New Objectivity of the 1920's, which concentrates on the anonymous aspect of things and landscapes."
