East Meets West – Tseng Kwong Chi the Improbable Pilgrim
Keith 
and Tseng Kwong Chi
My mirrored glasses give
the picture a neutral
impact and a surrealistic
quality I am looking for.
I am an inquisitive traveler,
a witness of my time, and
an ambiguous ambassador.

Tseng was 39 when he died.
See him at Grand Canyon
His imagery was always the curious, blank Chinese tourist. I would say to Kwong that you don’t fool me, I know, I can sense protest when I see it… this blankness was the way in which this culture at large expected him, as an Asian man, to exist. So he became a kind of a cipher, a smooth surface that because it was so impenetrable, this persona, it reflected everything!

[TSENG’s work is like] a cross between Ansel Adams and Cindy Sherman.
