Tonghe Yang was born in Shenyang, China, and is now based in London. She is a photographic artist who combines ideas from the history of photography with traditional techniques. Her work reflects on contemporary art philosophy whilst exploring identity through portraiture, informed by her experience as a transgender woman. The Daughter Of Photographic History is a series that seeks to deconstruct photographic traditions through postmodernist and poetic approaches. In this series, she reflects on identity, ambiguity and authorship through staged self-portraiture using historical photographic processes, exploring how gender and identity can be obscured, reconstructed and reimagined within classical photographic craft.
