Pang Khee Teik does Hong Kong night markets
Besides being a photographer, Pang Khee Teik is also the editor of Malaysia's arts website Kakiseni.com, a writer of wanky monologues, a lazy graphic designer, a moderator of a mailing list for gay writers, a bad actor, a connoisseur of personal ads, a frequent changer of hairstyles, a teh tarik addict, a brownnoser, a sloweater and a fasttalker. Philosophy requires decadence. Monogamy is for the weak.

Pang's artist statement:
Welcome to the Hong Kong night markets!
Thongs from Ladies Market at Tong Choi Street! Toys from Temple Street Night Market at Mongkok! Fortune Fish from Goldfish Market at Bute Street!
Welcome to the reified desirability, the intangible plasticity, the aesthetic evolution.
We are the cock teasers. We are the new gods. We are domestic creatures bringing good luck.
We are exotic. We are colourful. We are cheap.
Asians ‘R’ Us!
