For several years, Haegue Yang has been studying the ambivalent relationship between spirit and matter and investigating mystical practices, from European paganism to Asian shamanism. In recent years, his interest has turned to different paper-cutting traditions, particularly the sacred dimension of hanji, a traditional Korean paper made by hand from mulberry pulp, from which the Mesmerizing Mesh series is inspired. After their meeting in Paris, during the opening of the exhibition at the Chantal Crousel Gallery in 2022, Haegue Yang and Nicolas Bureau had the conversation that accompanies the works reproduced in this book. Together they talked about shamanism, travel, artists' and anthropologists' status, and transcending the boundaries between fields of knowledge.
