Grand Canyon, Arizona
Tseng Kwong Chi's "Grand Canyon, Arizona" is a gelatin silver print from his iconic "Expeditionary" series, in which the artist documented himself in formal business attire at monumental landscapes across America. The photograph characterizes Chi's conceptual practice of inserting his composed figure into sublime natural vistas, creating a humorous yet poignant commentary on tourism, cultural identity, and the relationship between the individual and the American landscape. Printed in 2000, this work exemplifies Chi's exploration of performance and photography as tools for interrogating questions of belonging and visibility.
