Description

As a performance artist, ustin Chin has created eight full-length solo performance works and several shorter works, which have been presented nationally and abroad. Attack of the Man-Eating Lotus Blossoms is a collection of these performance art texts, along with documents and scripts, that represent Chin's work from 1993-2001


Whether playing native, tourist, or other, Chin questions our--as well as his own--assumptions, prejudices, and consumption of cultural beings and commodities. These works explore themes of sexuality, of Asian and of queer bodies, hybrid forms of culture, belonging, and the loss, recovery, and reconstruction of te home, homeland, and history. These works are by turns cooly ironic, or bratty and comic, or poignant and mournful, or unbelievably borderline psychotic.
