Haegue Yang

Haegue Yang Born in 1971, Seoul, South Korea，Lives and works in Berlin, Germany and Seoul, Korea.Haegue Yang creates installations that include photographic, video, and sculptural elements and are informed by the artist’s philosophical and political investigations. Responding to the places where she exhibits, Yang creates site-specific new work that incorporates both the architecture of the exhibition space and materials gathered from the region.
