Tiane Doan Na Champassak
Tiane Doan na Champassak is a French artist of Asian descent best known for his photo-based works and artists' books.
After a prolific collaboration as a photographer with Agence Vu during which he was awarded a World Press Photo, a Prix Roger Pic, and grants from the Jean-Luc Lagardère Foundation and Villa Medici, Doan na Champassak shifted his attention to photography as a contemporary art form. The main focus of his work is exploring various aspects of sexuality, such as ambiguity and censorship, by processing, reusing and juxtaposing materials from multiple sources.
In the last 15 years, he published a large number of artists' books that have become part of important private and public collections such as The Getty Research Institute, The International Center of Photography, Centre Pompidou, Maison Européenne de la Photographie, and Tate Modern.
