Haegue Yang
The Hybrid Intermediates – Flourishing Electrophorus Duo (The Sonic Intermediate – Hairy Carbonous Dweller and The Randing Intermediate – Furless Uncolored Dweller), 2022
The Hybrid Intermediates – Flourishing Electrophorus Duo (The Sonic Intermediate – Hairy Carbonous Dweller and The Randing Intermediate – Furless Uncolored Dweller) is a set of two sonic sculptures that is part of Haegue Yang’s larger series entitled The Intermediates (2015–ongoing). Equipped with handles, the sculptures are mounted on casters that can make simple movements. While in motion, the bells on the sculptures rattle subtly and produce a metallic sound reminiscent of bells used in rituals from various cultures (including Korean shamanism and European paganism), linking humans to the cosmos.
The sculptures will be activated throughout the period of the Biennale.

BIO
Haegue Yang (b. 1971) is Professor of Fine Arts at the Staedelschule in Frankfurt am Main. Yang’s practice spans a wide range of media, from paper collage to performative sculpture and large-scale installations, often featuring everyday objects, in addition to labour-intensive woven sculptures. Articulated with an abstract visual vocabulary, her anthropomorphic Intermediates sculptures often play with the notion of “the folk” as a cultural idea, while also attempting to expand its definition beyond its association to the traditions of specific cultures. Her multisensory environments made of Venetian blinds suggest the uncontrollable and fleeting nature of time, place, figures and experiences that connect us in this non-sharable field of perception. She lives and works in Berlin and Seoul.
