In her retrospective, Haegue Yang's work is vast but feels chaotic and ultimately unrewarding, questioning the ability of grand narratives to make sense of complex global issues.
With installations featuring venetian blinds and references to historic figures, Yang’s work is intended to reflect the overwhelming flood of contemporary information, leaving coherence behind.
One piece titled '5, Rue Saint-Benoit,' referencing Marguerite Duras, highlights the disconnect between heavy cultural references and the audience, as meaning becomes obscured.
The exhibit mirrors a megacity's chaos, intending to show how traditional narratives succumb to the onrush of information in today’s globalized world.
