Kip Fulbeck: hapa.me
Celebrating the millions of individuals identifying as part Asian or Pacific Islander, Kip Fulbeck’s exhibit The Hapa Project first premiered in 2006. Fifteen years later, Fulbeck revisits 130 of the original participants and photographs them again for a new exhibition and book – hapa.me – inviting them to write new personal statements answering the question, “What are you?”
Forty-six individual portraits are on-view with their original images. These ‘then and now’ portraits offer a profound and touching showcase of not only the participants’ physical changes over time, but also their different perspectives and outlooks on a rapidly changing world. This project has always been fist and foremost a project about identity. From its initial concept to showings throughout the U.S, and abroad, audience interactivity and participation has been a key tenet of Kip Fulbeck’s vision.
