Neo (Jiapu) Gao is an art ethnographic researcher and paralleled practised as a transdisciplinary artist, his practices encompassed writing, sculpture, sound installation, moving images and performance. His artistic motives are usually cultivated by autobiographical poetic writing, where he may be self-empowered to re-narrate the identity politics and histories in archival objects. He collages the dislocated cultures of the foreign and the local through the lens of contemporary migrants, reproducing mythological transpositions and individual life narratives through various materials. His recent research focuses on pan-East Asian oral histories of migration, geo-ethnography, characteristics and changes in social noise in post-millennial.
“As the perched bridge raised from the variegated shadow of trees,
April crooks, December descends.
As the dog leash pulls up the azure-glazed arc,
Tripartite harmony slides
Into counting fingers.
Silver, out of a shout,
Afar, shawls over the back,
The skull amidst the growing reeds,
Wings flickered over nouns, reflections drowned yet dead not.”
