Chen Tianxin: Though I often using photography as medium, I consider myself to be an artist rather than a photographer. I consider my photographic work as the presentation of a combination of other mediums such as sculpture and performance art. My work is an active response to the constant relocating experience that I had at an early age. I explore the aloofness of identity in a post-colonial world and question how meaning is always shifting according to cultural and linguistic contexts, as my work is exhibited internationally in Asia, Europe and North America.
