Self-Portrait, Financial District, San Francisco 1973

"Self-Portrait, Financial District, San Francisco" is a 1973 black and white photograph by Michael Jang. The image features the artist standing on a city street, with his back to the camera, in the company of several other people. The artist stands among a crowd in the Financial District of San Francisco, with a street sign for "California" visible in the background. The artist's inclusion of himself within a scene of urban life, as opposed to a typical formal portrait, is a trademark of his work, which often explores themes of identity, race, and belonging.
