<p>Based on the eponymous 2024 commission by artist Haegue Yang for the National Sculpture Factory (Cork, Ireland), the publication 'The Great Forgetfulness' is now being released. The artist book addresses the complex relationship between individual and collective forgetting in societies. Human history is shaped by conflicts and violence, such as colonization and epidemics. Yang's work explores the necessity of forgetfulness in surviving traumatic memories and simultaneously reflects on the loss of memories in ethics. Featuring numerous illustrations and in-depth essays, the publication 'The Great Forgetfulness' illuminates central questions on (in)visibility and collective memory through her unique language. Lit alphabets in a microlandscape, contribution to current discourse on memory culture and postcolonial theory in contemporary art.</p><p>Born in Seoul in 1971, Haegue Yang has been living and working in Berlin and Seoul since the mid-1990.
