Yoolim Ham

Yiwen Ma
Yoolim Ham is a multidisciplinary artist based in London. Ham works across photography, sculpture, installation, and time-based media. Drawing from personal archives, everyday encounters, and digital residues, Ham reframes fleeting or overlooked moments as spaces of intimacy and rupture. Through habitual documentation, she traces accidental connections that reflect on presence, loss, and the impermanence of lived experience. Fleeting Pause reflects on in-between moments that resist capture yet linger as traces in memory. Yoolim Ham draws from diaristic photography and fragmented moving images, fragmenting everyday gestures and transient experiences into states neither fully present nor fully absent. These pauses, often overlooked in the rhythm of contemporary life, are expanded and re-experienced through technological mediation.
Yixin Wang
ma.yi.wen
Yoanna Walden creates photographic works where elusive dreams, fleeting memories, and ambiguous visions intersect. Walden stages scenes using self- made props and her own body to explore narratives of confinement and constraint. Drawing on personal experience and studies, Walden examines systems of control, questioning concepts of madness, sickness, and societal norms of wellness. Seclusion can be voluntary or enforced, physical or virtual. All forms of enforced seclusion create a barrier between the subject and the world, a barrier that may not always be visible. Yoanna Walden draws on experience of the unseen violence of this practice in mental health settings to inform the work.
Yiwen Ma explores the entangled relationships between humans and the more-than-human world through painting, sculpture, and installation. The practice engages with new materialism and Daoist philosophy. Yiwen Ma works with materials including persimmons, sunlight, rainwater, trees, insects, linen, and cotton, inviting them into a co-creative process where outcomes are never fully controlled. Persimmon-dyed fabrics are exposed to weather and chance, gradually darkening under sunlight over hours or months, holding environmental imprints and delicate traces, reflecting the interplay between the human and the more-than-human world.
Yixin Wang is an artist and curator from China, currently based in the UK. Wang’s practice spans installation, video, and visual art, addressing environmental fragility, collective memory, and cultural heritage. Imagined History engages with the history of imagination to question the very premise of ‘progress’ in media history. It resists the assumption that media evolves along a linear trajectory of innovation and instead considers the possibility that forms, ideas, and narratives reappear, transform, and persist beyond the constraints of time and space.
