In Eutopa, things are different. Eutopa is a place of dysmorphia, abolished binaries, and diasporic fracture. Eutopa is far away and can be found orbiting both Jupiter as well as Echo Correspondence. Eutopa reimagines selfhood and erasure as a dystopian experience.

It is The Land of the Promise, to which we’re all native aliens.

It is a tale that embarks on prophecies, portals and foremost encompasses the idea of feeling estranged. Tsao uses her personal narrative as a means to unravel the depths of experiencing the queer, expatriate, misplaced and female body as part of a de-lineated chain of events.

She asserts significance in regards to planetary movements as universal: in the flesh, the firmament and beyond. Similar to Echo Correspondence, it is an idiosyncratic place that is yet to be discovered and will never recur in a uniform rotation, shining a light on the eclipsed, untapped dark side of Eutopa.

Her body of work unfolds a glitch, between the East and the West, and its socio-political implications that have maintained and shaped Tsao’s praxis. These have manifested in the wake of declining liberties such as recent western abortion bans, the presence of war and the hurdles of cross-national citizenship heightened by the casual habit of doomscrolling.
