Chiharu Shiota Solo Exhibition 《In Memory》 🛳
⠀
Japanese artist based in Berlin,
Chiharu Shiota's solo exhibition will be held at the Gana Art Center.
⠀
This exhibition is after 《Between Us》 in 2020
It is an exhibition held at Gana Art for the first time in two years.
Including one large installation work representing Chiharu
A total of 55 pieces of 16 sculptures and 38 flat pieces are on display.
⠀
The artist creates an overwhelming scene by spinning threads like a spider's web in the space.
By weaving personal objects with threads, the unconscious world or
By drawing the representation of the self in relation to the world of others,
The ambivalent thought of 'existence in absence' was dealt with as the core theme of the work.
⠀
The large-scale installation 'In Memory' presented this time is
In 'White Book' by Han Kang, a novelist who talks about life and death,
Inspired, I used white thread instead of the red thread I used before.
A large white boat and white clothes placed in the center of the exhibition hall
It symbolizes the existence of human beings wandering in the sea of memory.
⠀
Life, death, and existence through memory are unraveled with threads and objects.
This is an opportunity to see the world of the artist's work until August 21st.
You can meet them at the Gana Art Center.
