Gōzō Yoshimasu (Tokyo, 1939. Lives and works in Japan) is a poet and multimedia artist, a central figure of the Japanese avant-garde since the 1960s. His practice seeks to recover and reinvent the links between poetry and performance, transforming language into gesture and invention. His manuscripts operate as visual and textual collages, incorporating literary references and languages collected through travel and correspondence. He also created the gozoCiné series, combining video, spontaneous poetic composition, and performative reading. He has held solo exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern Art (Tokyo), Ashikaga Museum of Art, Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum (Naha), and Hokkaido University Museum (Sapporo).
