A Conversation with Ka-Man Tse
Untitled, © Ka-Man TseThis week we bring you a conversation with Ka-Man Tse, whose work captures random and sometimes insignificant moments in life.
Ka-Man Tse: I was born the youngest daughter of three, I was supposed to be a boy, but alas! What can I say? Currently I am trying to live the life of a morning person but I was born to be nocturnal. I blame it on being born in Hong Kong, and having to live my life in opposite time, but it's New York or bust.
NP: How did you discover photography?
KMT: In high school, over the summer between 9th and 10th grade. It was a bet, a joke, the way the best things are. But the first camera I used was a point-and-shoot. That's a pretty far of a walk from 4x5 land, but there is definitely that moment when you say to yourself, I want more from my negatives, more from my photographs. Nowadays I am turning back, and just the people to be able to move and speak. make noise.
NP: Where do you find inspiration?
KMT: In the public realm, on the street, between people, from memories, through stories, and because I missed it when it happened... Anything that references another sense other than the one we take for granted. I'm either a hater trapped in the body of a romantic or a romantic trapped in the body of a hater.
NP: How do your projects come about?
KMT: They usually come from within, or from a story, mixed with a little heat, sugar, salt, and acid. So I would say birthday parties, and subway rides, and tales told by my elders.
NP: What’s next?
KMT: A short film where everyone is the main character.
NP: There is much more to see at Ka-Man's website at http://www.tsewhat.com. Thank you!

25CPW officially opens its doors with an inaugural exhibition. 10 from 25: Emerging Artists Using Photography will showcase the work of the ten founding members, each of whom use the medium of photography as a foundation for their artistic practice. The exhibition is comprised of varied approaches, ranging from traditional photography to video and sculpture.The show forges new paths and offers fresh visions that challenge photographic representation, the tradition of portraiture, and the depiction of identity within a changing technological landscape. 25CPW will host an opening reception on Thursday, November 19th, 2009. For more information about the show and artists, please visit www.25cpw.org.
Artists included are: Angela Beallor, Teresa Christiansen, Bess Greenberg, Kim Kremer, Rebecca (Marks) Leopold, Jamie Lund, Paul Qaysi, Hyla Skopitz, Adam Ward, and Alyssa Taylor Wendt
