Man Singing under No Man’s Land, 2021

Luo’s oeuvre tends to create specific speaking or reading contexts. By virtue of fluid circulating
systems, chemical reactions, and res naturales (predisposed to rotting or decay), the artist gives his works an ever-changing, protean quality. Recently, he has tried to achieve further integration among text, sound, language, as well as kinetic and spatial installations, insofar as to offer the viewers a flowing, dynamic, and more personal viewing experience—he believes that a song, a painting, or an article has to be personal enough before it becomes universal.

The work Man Singing under No Man’s Land portrays an apocalyptic scene in which no other thing than sound and singing voice come from the channel leading to deep underground. The whisper is so enigmatic that we cannot tell whether it is from a survivor, a ghost, or someone in self-isolation.
