Yves Gore is a performance artist, musician and writer who is known for her activism performance work on depression, suicidal ideations and climate change.[3]
Early life[edit]
Gore was born on 18 March 1987 in Kuching, Borneo. She spoke to the Los Angeles Times on how being multilingual and growing up in a multiracial environment has shaped her fluid identity and outlook on a world without racial barriers.[4] She moved to New Zealand when she was 15, and grew up on the North Shore in Auckland.[5] She studied accounting, social sciences at University of Auckland before attending film school where she met her long time collaborator, performance artist and film director Frank Fu.[6][better source needed]
Career[edit]
Gore relocated to Los Angeles and studied at UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. During this time, Gore starred in Fu's debut film, Orange Confucius, which premiered in 2016 at Visions du Reel, Nyon, Geneva, Switzerland[7] and in the same year, screened at Lima, Peru's, TRANSCINEMA where the film was reported in the local newspaper La República as the most controversially released cinema of the year.[8] While at Visions du Reel, Gore performed at the festival for Orange Confucius by resuming her masked character from the film and handing out Dekopon oranges to festival goers. Later, Gore collaborated with Frank Fu on their first performance together at art fest Hypergonar in Avignon, France. This initiated the name The Cosmic Twins for the duo.[9]
Gore has taught at UCLA Extension, USC School of Cinematic Arts in Los Angeles and also at Otago Polytechnic's Dunedin School of Art.[10]
