Gao Bo – Dans le noir de l’Histoire

In the fall of 2015, in his studio on the outskirts of Beijing, Gao Bo is preparing for a series of four multimedia exhibitions entitled The Great Darkness — From GAO BO to GB, slated for the Tokyo Gallery between December 2015 and February 2016. For over thirty years, the Chinese artist has been creating a unique body of works at the crossroads of photography, installation and performance. Born in 1964 during the Cultural Revolution, he has pursued his career despite the many obstacles. Director Alain Fleischer films him in his studio, the site of finished and unfinished works, as he recalls his childhood under Mao.
