"Entanglements transforms the Renzo Piano-designed arts center into a living network of sound, movement, energy, and improvisation. Across kinetic sculptures, self-playing instruments, leaking systems, and delicate electronic circuits, Mohri invites visitors into environments shaped as much by humidity, dust, air, and chance as by the artist herself."
"Originally developed at Pirelli HangarBicocca and expanded in Santander with new paintings and a site-specific film and soundscape inspired by the coastline, Entanglements reflects Mohri's long-standing fascination with invisible systems through installations that draw from experimental music, everyday objects, and organic processes."
"For Mohri, these unseen forces are neither purely hopeful nor unsettling. Instead, they exist independently of us, continuously shaping the world whether we notice them or not. 'Invisible forces themselves, much like the wind flowing unseen through a forest, are always at work in the world,' she tells designboom. 'Entanglements might be an expression of both hope and fragility, or perhaps it's neither.'"
"Sound has always occupied a central role in Mohri's practice. Before becoming internationally known for her installations, the artist studied fine arts at Tokyo University of the Arts while also playing in the punk band Sisforsound, an experience that continues to shape the rhythm and sensibility of her work today. In her installations, pianos respond to recordings of forests and coastlines, decomposing fruit powers electronic systems, and motors, fans, and scanners become part of improvised sonic comp"
Entanglements is Yuko Mohri’s largest solo exhibition in Europe, presented at Centro Botín in Spain. The Renzo Piano-designed arts center becomes a living network of sound, movement, energy, and improvisation. Kinetic sculptures, self-playing instruments, leaking systems, and delicate electronic circuits generate environments influenced by humidity, dust, air, and chance. The works draw on experimental music, everyday objects, and organic processes, including decomposing fruit that powers electronic systems. Sound is central to the practice, with pianos responding to recordings of forests and coastlines. Motors, fans, and scanners contribute to improvised sonic effects. Invisible forces continuously shape the world regardless of human attention.
