Artists of 2024: Yuko Mohri
By Oliver Clasper
In Yuko Mohri’s large-scale installations she reconfigures and recontextualizes everyday objects, household utensils, and disparate mechanicals to explore ideas of automation, control, and nonhuman agency. Harnessing the conditions of coincidence, chance, and fluctuation, her projects—many of which adhere to the philosophy of “no boundaries”—are inspired by the experimental 1960s-era Fluxus movement as well as avant-garde composers such as John Cage.
