Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and raised in Brussels, 34-year-old Kriss Munsya is a graphic designer, photographer and award-winning filmmaker now living in Vancouver. His current series of photographs, The Eraser, explores the entangled terrain of race, gender and identity, much of it motivated by a childhood rife with discrimination and trauma.
His work is derived from both stories he was told and those he tells himself, questioning both his identity and his memory, providing photographic tableau to help him tell that story. The work is consciously formalized and utilizes bright colours, patterned props and background elements in a bold photographic structure influenced in part by his graphic design background
