NO ASIANS


In the superficial realm of gay online dating, the fetishization and prejudice directed at Asian men persist, often masked by the anonymity of the digital space. No Asians functions as a pointed protest against these entrenched biases. Through the strategy of objectifying the objectification itself, the artist subverts and disempowers these stereotypes, transforming them into subjects of ridicule.

The set design draws from the formal, sterile aesthetic of museum collection photography, emphasizing the tension between the clinical detachment of the style and the emotional charge embedded within the subject matter. This contrast mirrors the artist’s broader exploration of identity, history, and perception, offering a visual critique of how stereotypes are perpetuated and challenged within contemporary culture.
