Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota has lived and worked in Berlin for 20
years, and is known for intricate works that explore the complex
relationship between the body and the mind. Mapping elusive sensations
of emotion and memory, many of Shiota’s site-specific, large-scale
installations incorporate everyday objects, such as clothing, musical
instruments, furniture, letters, even an incinerated piano, weaving them
into tangled webs comprising hundreds of metres of black thread.
Atmospheric and otherworldly, her installations appear to trap
individual memories, suspending them in space and time.
