About
Avo specialises in conveying narratives through experimental sound and combines sound with visual and performance performances to convey emotions and seek empathy and reflection from the audience.Avo draws on personal emotions and experiences to establish a connection with the audience in order to discuss the universality and commonality of social phenomena.
Take Off is a narrative video work that combines moving images, sound and performance. The work is a collaboration with Heyu Wang. The work explores the dysfunctional parent-child relationship in East Asian families in the context of sociological theories of theatre, showing the reasons, processes and emotions of a child pretending and performing in front of his parents in an East Asian family. The work hopes to present this phenomenon in the parent-child relationship to the audience through the dramatic expression of segmentation, contradiction and conflict, to provoke empathy and reflection, and to reflect on how our identities are shaped and presented in the wider social and life arena.
