Heyon Han

Heyon Han is a Berlin-based artist, whose practice begins with collecting the exceeding materials in the technocapitalist landscape. Her research and studio practice are assembled into installations that function as models of our belief systems and infrastructures (from Silicon Valley innovations to convenience stores), where contemporary desires and oppression become physical.
In her work, the joys of consumption remain ambivalent, translated directly into material capitalism – pleasure eating itself.
