Tiane Doan na Champassak (1973) is a French visual artist. In the last 15 years, he has developed a complex body of work infusing his own photographic production with techniques of appropriation, variation, re-use and repetition. Champassak subjects materials from the internet, personal memorabilia, vernacular photography and magazine cuttings to a large variety of processes linked to the conceptual arsenal of postmodernism, challenging themes such as sexuality, gender identity and censorship. All his self-published books are released under the label Siam’s Guy Books and are part of important private and public collections such as MoMA, Getty Research Institute, ICP, Centre Pompidou, MEP, Tate etc.
