Entanglements - Yuko Mohri

“Entanglements” is Yuko Mohri’s most extensive solo exhibition to date at a European institution. The title evokes the invisible links and complex interactions that exist between objects, forces, sounds, and people. The show explores how each element belongs to an interconnected system in which nothing acts independently, and everything is part of a vast, ever-evolving network of relationships.

Mohri’s delicately balanced sculptures reveal the latent complexity of the natural and artificial structures that constitute our world and the constant flow of energy surrounding us. Through the materials she employs, Mohri introduces subtle irony and a nearly hidden ludic dimension, drawing on cultural references, including those from philosophy to pop culture, as well as iconographic and sonic influences ranging from kinetic art to sound experimentation.

The exhibition is accompanied by the most comprehensive monograph to date on Yuko Mohri’s practice. The volume features essays by international art critics and scholars who have closely followed Mohri’s career. It includes an overview of her work by art critic Ryo Sawayama; an essay by curator Martin Clark; and a contribution by curator Diego Sileo. A selection of Mohri’s own writings offers a personal perspective on her relationship with sound and a text by the curators of the show provides deeper insight into the exhibition project at Pirelli HangarBicocca.

Moreover, a unique feature developed specifically for this publication is the glossary, which explores key themes in Mohri’s work and offers a new interpretive tool for understanding her evolving artistic language. Lastly, the catalog includes the Japanese Shōjo manga by Ran Kurumi illustrating Mohri’s artistic journey.
