Eric Cung: Performance Art Meets Photography - A Surreal Take on Selfie Tourism & Identity

Eric Cung presents a strong body of work in the intersection between performance art and photography. He makes a comment on selfie tourism and examines it in a surreal way with a sense of irony: - “I take holiday selfies. But with a twist… It is also an exploration of deception, identity and personal integrity in a digital era. What right do we have to our own identity when the face, the first and strongest expression for recognition, is exploited?”

“Selfie-tourism, identity and lies.”
