2003 “The Figure dies Away I – II”, Multimedia Photographic installation, Performance art at the Rencontres d’Arles 2003, France.
“…It is this principle of “Dualities” that Gao Bo goes back to in the installation that will be presented at the Rencontres d’Arles 2003. He shows portraits of twelve people sentenced to death, with their eyes open against a black background, then with their eyes closed against a white background and hung upside down, accompanied by videos and texts. He uses them to evoke childhood memories of the Cultural Revolution.”
—Christian Caujolle, curator, 2003
