Dachen Bao

artistiek onderzoek - film - Diaspora

Through films, installations, and performances, Bao’s practice combines historical investigation, ethnography and speculative fiction in examining the ever-shifting structural relationships between geopolitics and ecology, self and other. Attempts to re-touch the histories and memories of lands on the basis of materiality, embodiment and perception, explore indigeneity and the entanglement of temporalities, as well as its potential for alternative narratives outside of nation-state and imperial frameworks.
