Tseng comments provocatively on his subversive and engaging work (artist's website, tsengkwongchi.com): "My mirrored glasses give the picture a neutral impact and a surrealistic quality I'm looking for. I am an inquisitive traveler, a witness of my time, and an ambiguous ambassador … My photographs are social studies and social comments on Western society and its relationship with the East. [I pose] as a Chinese tourist in front of monuments of Europe, America and elsewhere."
