Chiharu Shiota, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Centered around the intangible, Shiota's installation, performance and sculpture practice generates emotionally laden psychogeographic sites

A wide-ranging and complex project of great expressive power, this volume retraces the entire production of Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota (born 1972) across drawings, photographs, sculptures and some of her most famous environmental and monumental installations. Often inspired by personal experiences, Shiota's works explore intangible thoughts, offering spaces for silence and contemplation on universal, existential concepts such as identity, relationships, life and death. Transcending the boundaries of time and space, her works engage the most intimate and vulnerable part of the human being. Her most famous installations, composed of red or black threads woven together to create imposing structures, envelop the spaces in which they are located, transforming their volumes and guiding the viewer into an immersive experience in which fascination alternates with unease, movement with stasis.
