Yuko Mohri’s art seeks to make invisible energy such as electricity, magnetism, and motion visible. To this aim, she approaches installation and sculpture not to compose (or construct) but to call attention to “phenomena” that constantly shift according to various conditions such as the environment. In recent years, she has also explored this idea through video and photography.

Recent personal exhibitions include “I/O (In Oslo)” (Atelier Nord, Oslo, 2021), “Parade (a Drip, a Drop, the End of the Tale)” (Japan House São Paulo, São Paulo, 2021), “SP. by yuko mohri” (Ginza Sony Park, Tokyo, 2020), “Voluta” (Camden Arts Centre, London, 2018), and “Assume That There Is Friction and Resistance” (Towada Art Center, Aomori, 2018). She has also participated in numerous international group exhibitions including “23rd Biennale of Sydney: rīvus” (Sydney, 2022), “2021 Asian Art Biennial: Phantasmapolis” (National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung, 2021), “34th Bienal de São Paulo: Though It’s Dark, Still I Sing” (Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion, São Paulo, 2021), “Glasgow international 2021: Attention” (The Pyramid at Anderston, Glasgow, 2021), “The 9th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art” (Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, 2018), and “14th Biennale de Lyon” (Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon, Lyon, 2017).
