The Eurasian Face
by Kirsteen Lau
PHOTOGRAPHY
Once shunned as the result of
forbidden liaisons, and confined to set roles in society, Eurasians are
now celebrated as models and actors, and are ideally placed to take
advantage of the growing commercial and cultural exchanges between
Asia and the rest of the
world.
Photographer
Kirsteen Lau is a Hong Kong-born Eurasian who has always been fascinated
by the faces of Eurasians; the tell-tale signs of East and West merging to
create a unique yet recognizably Eurasian whole. She has found this
fascination to be common even amongst non-Eurasians: few days go by
without strangers attempting to dissect her appearance to discern her
ethnicity.
This book of photos and interviews
reveals how Eurasians see themselves today.
