- Summary
- Ting Cheng, the Taiwanese photographer who moved to London in 2010, began to suffer from homesickness and missed the tastes of the food from home. She therefore tried to knead her own dough for mantou. Mantou can as well be called steamed bun in English. When she looked up "bun" recipes online, many of the results came out as western bread or a tight roll of hair, which are also called "bun". This coincidence led her begin her photography project ... She then began to practise making braided bread and clipping them onto an actual hair braid ... Braiding hair for total strangers surprisingly lessened the awkwardness between Ting and the models; this, perhaps, even made her feel less misplaced on a foreign land."-- Review in Obscura Magazine (https://www.obscura-magazine.com/the-bun-of-homesickness/ )
