Photomontage by Chung (Fanky) Chak

Box Heart Gallery's 2011 Artist of the Year

 

A native of Hong Kong, artist Chung (Fanky) Chak makes digital photo collages on a massive scale. The square 44" X 44" archival prints from his series, "The Boxes," focus on different urban environments, Hong Kong, New York, and Montreal among them, examining visual stereotypes and expectations.  

 

By photographing thousands of windows and combining them to create a new environment, Chak's intention is to illustrate common stereotypes we have about a community, and let the audience decide whether it is true or not.  

Each window, now part of a larger collage, loses its geographical reference  

and becomes only a small part of the whole.
