Ka-Man Tse: narrow distances – LENSCRATCH

In her project narrow distances, Ka-Man Tse’s photographs linger in spaces tucked away primarily throughout skyscraper-laden Hong Kong and New York City. Included in these realms are quiet, large format portraits of Tse’s subjects and collaborators, whose identities dwell at the intersections between Asian Pacific Islander and LGBTQ communities. Brimming with small gestures, the artist’s images record intimate moments of recognition for the communities she holds close—a significant act in places where connection and privacy is often in short supply. An interview with Tse follows.
