PHOTOS: Artist wears wedding gown made of 999 masks

Beijing artist Kong Ning showed up at the Beijing Exhibition Center on Monday in a wedding dress made of 999 white face masks, taking a series of wedding photos amid the city's persistent curtain of smog.

Intending to wed herself to the "blue sky," Kong set off to search for her elusive groom. Predictably, at least for Beijing, she was left standing at the altar.
