Ka-Man Tse (born 1981)[1] is a Hong Kong-born photographer, video artist, and educator based in New York.[2] Influenced by her Asian-American and queer identity,[2][3] Tse primarily uses portraiture to tell stories about the people, identity, visibility, and place in and around the queer community.[4][5][6]

Early life

Born in Kowloon, Hong Kong,[2][6][7][8] Tse moved to the U.S. where she and her family worked in Schenectady, New York in Chinese restaurants. During the 1980s and 1990s, Tse made regular road trips to Chinatown, New York[6][7] which served as a surrogate for her birthplace. Her relationship with these three cities - New York City, Schenectady, and Hong Kong - is an ongoing investigation in her work.[5]

Education

In 2003 Tse received her B.A. in Photography from Bard College and in 2009 went on to receive an M.F.A. in Photography from Yale University.[2]

Art

Ka-Man Tse's work deals with visibility and representation through photography and film. She strives to locate points of intersection between LGBT and Asian and Pacific Islander communities.[4][8][9] She mainly works with a large format view camera to take photographs that examine what is shared and negotiated between these two seemingly distant communities[4][10]

Portraits and Narratives of LGBTQ Asians and Asian Americans

In 2014 she received the Robert Giard Fellowship grant for her project, Portraits and Narratives of LGBTQ Asians and Asian Americans. The artist describes this body of work as an examination of community and human agency through photographs, both staged and organic, of her subjects in public spaces. Tse mixes personal memories, obsessions, stories and portraiture in order to conceptualize queer narratives and photograph them while they unfold in public space.[11]

Narrow Distances

Ka Man-Tse's solo show, Narrow Distances,[4][8] featured a series of photographs taken in Hong-Kong, and aimed to rework the world out of a desire to see it re-imagined with the queer narrative in mind. Tse used placement, foregrounding and the connection with her subjects, to recast the social landscape of Hong-Kong.[4] The title of the show is an allusion to the over-populated streets of the city as well as the space between Asian and LGBT communities. The show features intimate portraits of queer Chinese city-goers set against a backdrop of the Hong-Kong landscape. The subjects and setting work harmoniously together to create poetic images that confront issues of identity and representation.[4] The show was held at Lumenvisum gallery in 2016 and was the artist's first solo exhibition[12] in Hong Kong.

In Search of Miss Ruthless

Ka-Man Tse's photographs have been featured in the group show, In Search of Miss Ruthless, which examined the history of beauty pageants in Asia. Curated by Hera Chan and David Xu Borgonjon, the show was based on Canadian artist group, General Idea’s project titled, The 1971 Miss General Idea Pageant. In Search of Miss Ruthless, features two of Ka-Man Tse's photographs which were met with critical acclaim.[13][14]

The first photo featured in the show is titled Embrace (2015), and features a group of Asian-Pacific Islander women locked in an emotional hug after the conclusion of a beauty pageant in New York. The women wear expressions ranging from joy to relief as they frantically cling to one another in an overtly emotional and extravagant embrace, speaking to the forced, enhanced smiles and personas of beauty pageant contestants.[14]

The second photo included, Untitled, is a photograph of Rye Bautista, otherwise known as La Chiquitta,[15] one of Hong-Kong's preeminent drag queens, alone on a rooftop in Hong-Kong. The subject is seen slumped on the ground, wig-less, barefoot and smoking a cigarette. His gaze looks off past the photographer and into the night sky. His heavily made up face starkly contrasts with the baldness of his head and the undone nonchalance in his posture. Here, Ka-Man Tse captures La Chiquitta behind the scenes, taking a break, bringing a sense of normalcy to the highly exaggerated persona drag queens adopt. Ka-Man Tse actively includes an Asian drag queen in a group show about beauty pageants, starting a conversations about similarities between the two worlds and contributing to her larger goal of increasing visibility of the LGBT community.[16]

Tse has exhibited solo shows in the United States and Hong Kong.

Teaching

Ka-Man Tse has taught photography at Cooper Union, The City College of New York,[17] and at the Yale University School of Art. Tse is currently an Assistant Professor of Photography at Parsons School of Design.[2][18][11]
