Rusty Fox was raised in a city; his personality is shaped by his upbringing within it. He is always concerned with the balance and the imbalance he finds in the city – the relationship between living organism and inanimate objects, which has hugely influenced his perception of urban life. To him, most people who live in this city are like walking machines – numb and soulless. He questions through his artwork: What makes the subjects living in a city different from a slice of meat or a robot?

Based in Macau, Rusty Fox has stayed and studied in the UK for over 10 years, during which he graduated in BA in Photography at University of East London and MA in Documentary Photography at University of South Wales, Newport, UK. His art pieces were exhibited worldwide under the artist name Rusty Fox, including Unseen, Paris Photo, Diffusion, Belfast, RPS Photography Festivals in UK and International Photography Festivals in Asia. His photobook BRutAL (2016) was collected by the University of Oxford and Cambridge, and three national libraries across UK. Rusty Fox is also the co-founder of the Macau photographic group ‘Dialect’.
