Haegue Yang's (born 1971) spectrum of allusions and visions flows freely between social inquiry and history, personal life and collective memory, yielding images and experiences of enormous evocative power, in which objects, people, and places are inextricably linked. She employs a vast array of media, ranging from paper collage, video essays, and performative sculptures to large-scale installations, in an ongoing process of experimentation where chance encounters with an object or material are prone to generate unexpected forms, emotions, and narratives. Haegue Yang: Tightrope Walking and Its Wordless Shadow is a rich, fully illustrated anthology of the most significant essays and interviews on Haegue Yang's work from 2006 to 2018. The selection of texts travels through all the recurring themes in the artist's practice, conveying their depth and complexity. The book - published in the framework of the artist's first solo show in Italy, organized by Fondazione Furla and La Triennale di Milano in 2018 - also features a large selection of images of the works on display, including landmark pieces that represent key stages in Yang's oeuvre since 2000, and newly commissioned works.
