Haegue Yang

"Most of the referential stories I'm interested in have something to do with my own experiences and perception." — Haegue Yang

Born in 1971, South Korean artist Haegue Yang now lives and works in Berlin and Seoul. Yang is adept at using industrial objects such as shutters, heaters and industrial electric fans to create large-scale composite installations. She also adopts traditional straw weaving crafts to connect historical, literary and political issues, creating rich and abstract stories. As an artist who spends most of her time living abroad, Yang's works touch upon immigration and emigration issues. She draws inspiration from various cultures, combines different elements into one, and creates different forms of sculptures. Her works seek to communicate with the viewer in a primitive and visual manner. The unique visual language explores the emotional power of materials, while narrating the coexistence of reality and fiction in an abstract way.
