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.
