Dakota Guo works across performance, video, installation, objects, text, and sound to explore the intricate relationships and (im)material exchanges between the living and the (un)dead. Drawing on Chinese (necro-/cosmo-)logies, she traces a “corpse–ghost” continuum in which necrological infrastructures mediate and sustain the underworld, or the realm of yin. Her ongoing research project, Tools for Speculative Archaeology (2023–present), reimagines archaeological methods as a practice of ritual trespass and ghostly inscription. Together with Miyoung Chang, she co-initiated the duo project on East Asian horror filmmaking, Chu Renmei & Hyejoo, and she is a founding member of the Rotterdam-based SOUPSPOON Collective.
