Hannah Woo’s sculptures are bodies in motion, animated figures of a personal mythology that inhabit a generative hybridity between human and non-human, artificial and biological.
See all of our newslettersYear after year, Woo’s practice has drawn increasing attention; she broke onto the international stage after winning Frieze Seoul’s Bulgari Prize.
In her soon-to-close exhibition at G Gallery in Seoul, she heightens the theatricality of her sculptures, transforming the gallery into a staged encounter with monstrous bodies that eerily echo human and natural behavior.
“When I was at school, I used to tell my teacher that fairies made my work,” she tells Observer.
In earlier works, Woo centered a distinctly female perspective, probing the challenges, vulnerabilities and shifting perceptions of the body across time and how the social fabrics that dictate its form constrain its expression.
