New York, New York (WTC), Tseng Kwong Chi (1950–1990)

In East Meets West, Tseng Kwong Chi photographed himself standing in front of well-known monuments of the western world. Although he never set foot in mainland China, he always appeared in the photographs wearing a Chairman Mao worker’s suit, perpetuating the idea of “East” meeting “West.”

Tseng wears an identification card bearing the title of “Art Alien,” suggesting not only that he is out of place but also that he is interchangeable with any other non-citizen.
