Tseng Kwong Chi (1950 - 1990), East Meets West Manifesto, 1983
Ben Brown Fine Arts Hong Kong is honoured to present Tseng Kwong Chi: Citizen of the World, a comprehensive exhibition of the Hong Kong-born artist's pioneering body of photographic work. Tseng Kwong Chi (1950-1990) was not only a photographer but a performance artist, provocateur and documentarian who traversed the globe subversively exploring notions of cultural identity, perception and the role of the individual amidst iconic and sublime locations of the world. This exhibition brings together the artist's iconic black and white self-portraits, a group of colour photographs that have not been publicly exhibited since 1983, rare sepia landscapes and, in collaboration with the artist's estate, introduces a group of his photographs in a large-scale format for the first time.
