From Badong to Chongming: Multi-Site Ethnography as Method and the Making of Sonic and Visual Tapestries — A Review of Pepper Indulging (Neo Gao)

By on • ( Leave a comment )

In Pepper Indulging — Alluvial Voice, Neo Jiapu Gao turns a vast geopolitical story into something intimate and quietly unsettling. By spending two days and one night with the Zhang family—first-generation migrants relocated after the Three Gorges Project—Gao captures moments that feel almost ordinary: harvesting peppercorns, tending a garden, preparing for sleep. Yet beneath these scenes runs a deeper current of displacement, language barriers, and lingering memory. Through layered imagery, shifting dialects, and the persistent presence of a Sichuan pepper plant carried from their former home, Gao reveals how migration reshapes not only landscapes but the textures of everyday life. What begins as a portrait of a single family slowly unfolds into a meditation on what it means to be uprooted—and what fragments of home can survive the journey.
