[Review] Yuko Mohri's "Entanglements" Exhibition: Listening to the "Tangle" of Invisible Energy—Chance, Movement, and a Transparent Network (Critique by Kotaro Shimada)
Yuko Mohri's major solo exhibition in Milan, "Entanglements," explores the complex interplay and invisible connections of energy.Summary
Yuko Mohri's largest solo exhibition in Europe, "Entanglements" at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan, focuses on the invisible connections and complex interactions between objects, energy, and sound. The review analyzes the exhibition through three perspectives: "Mama" (As-Is), "Kine" (Kinetic), and "Suke" (Transparency/Network). The "Mama" perspective highlights Mohri's embrace of non-composition, drawing from John Cage and Marcel Duchamp, finding creativity in uncontrollable processes and the bricolage of emergency repairs. The "Kine" perspective examines how her kinetic sound installations visualize and sonify invisible forces like magnetism and gravity, treating 'noise' as crucial evidence of energy friction. Finally, the "Suke" perspective argues that the physical lightness of her works reflects the universal complexity of interconnected networks, seen in everything from urban infrastructure issues like water leaks to the cycles of life and decay in nature.
