Kayung Lai is a British Chinese photographic artist; her practice explores cultural identity within the context of globalisation through avenues of postcolonial theory. She is interested in using photography as a way of seeking and deconstructing cultural signs, to reveal the operation of myth and fantasy underlying our cultural processes. In 2011 she received a BA (Hons) in Photography from Falmouth University, and upon graduation she was selected as a finalist for Source Graduates and published in Source Photographic Review. In 2012 Lai was a finalist for the Art Catlin Guide, which marked the annual showcase of emerging art graduates in the UK. Following this she has been a finalist in various competitions most recently the Salon Art Prize. Lai completed her Masters in Photography at the University of Brighton in 2013.
