he looks—his body looks—like a set of instructions I
don’t expectI’ll need. Here’s how to keep what’s good
from spoiling—This is how you paint a sleeping bird.

Narrow Distance by Ka-Man Tse (謝嘉敏). Photography. 2004-2018.
Born in Hong Kong and immigrated to America with her family at a young age, Ka-Man Tse is now a photographer, video artist and educator based in New York. Her works are strongly influenced by her identity as an Asian-American lesbian and deal with the multiple and diasporic identities of Asian and Pacific Islander (API) and LGBTQ communities.
This year, Tse published her first photography book Narrow Distance, in which Tse recasts the queer social landscape in Hong Kong through a series of portraits centering on members of the city’s underground queer community. “Who can claim ownership, who can love or belong”, Tse asks. For more than 10 years, she tried to seek an answer, to look for points of connection, until one day her quest itself became an answer.
