PortfolioHYERI YOO

Hyeri Yoo’s practice unfolds where matter, memory, and narrative meet.

Her installations are conceived less as objects than as situations in which forms appear and waver, dissolve and cling, carrying with them both fragility and insistence.

Working with dissolving textiles, fragile structures, and slow mechanical gestures, she stages conditions where what seems to vanish leaves behind another presence.

Rooted in a bicultural trajectory between Korea and France, her work traces disappearance, residue, and hesitation not as limits but as languages of their own, inviting viewers to witness instability as a shared condition of being.



Hyeri YOO의 작업은 물질, 기억, 서사가 만나는 지점에서 펼쳐진다.

그녀의 설치는 오브젝트라기보다, 형상이 드러났다 흔들리고, 녹아 사라지면서도 달라붙는 상황으로 구성된다. 그 안에는 연약함과 미세한 집요함이 동시에 남는다.

녹는 직물과 취약한 구조, 느린 기계적 제스처로, 사라지는 듯한 것이 다른 존재감을 남기는 조건을 세팅한다.

한국과 프랑스를 가로지르는 이문화적 궤적을 바탕으로, 사라짐과 잔여, 머뭇거림을 한계가 아닌 고유한 언어로 더듬으며, 불안정성을 ‘함께 겪는 상태’로 조용히 목격하게 한다.
