Yohan Han explores the relationship between corporeality and plastic form by merging traditional materials, such as (animal) skins, with technological elements. Expanding his practice into performances and multi-layered artistic expressions, he investigates how the body, space, sound, material, time, and traces interact. His work, centered around the key concepts of resonance and sensation, integrates object-based and performative approaches to create dynamic and immersive experiences.
His major solo exhibitions include Fo:rum - Union for Another Chronicle (Soorim Cube, 2023), Momsalpuli (Parliament Gallery, Paris, 2022), The Principle of Resonance (BOAN1942, 2021), and Inside Resonance (Gallery Chosun, 2019). He has also participated in group exhibitions and performance projects such as MMCA Cheongju Performing Art Relay Performance (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Cheongju, 2023), Young Korean Artists 2021 (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Gwacheon, 2021), Where All Places Are (Kumho Museum of Art, 2021), Media Symphony (Cheongju Museum of Art, Cheongju, 2020), Thread Volume II - Conditions for Another Motion (Seoul Art Space Mullae, 2019), Thread (Centre Pompidou, Museum Live #5, Paris, 2017), and Nuit Blanche (Basilique Sainte-Clotilde, Paris, 2016).
