Han Gao is a London-based Chinese interdisciplinary artist whose work confronts the complexities of identity shaped by patriarchal constraints, striving to disrupt masculine-centric narratives. Through audio landscapes fused with performative elements, she blends moving image and poetry, capturing the ambivalence and introspection that define her journey. Her video art serves as an experimental diary, documenting life’s absurdities and meditations on time across urban and natural spaces. Central to her practice is a poetic exploration that invites viewers into layered environments, evoking empathy and insight while encouraging reflections on shared humanity. Han’s work aims to foster deeper connections and understanding through art, creating immersive experiences that resonate with audiences.
