Chiharu Shiota
The Extended Line, 2023-2024
Rope, paper; dimensions variable
Chiharu Shiota’s The Extended Line is rooted in Shiota’s
personal experience as a cancer survivor but is intended
to connect with the personal experience of the audience.
‘What does it mean to be human? I am asking questions
that I believe every person is dealing with during their
lifetime and not really getting to a clear conclusion. I believe
in the strength of asking those questions together. While
we have no answer, we still have the same suffering,
regrets, and joys in life.’
The free-standing installation consists of
hundreds of kilometers of red ropes hanging above the
artist’s open hands and arms from which red papers seem
to be flying out.
Chiharu Shiota (born 1972 in Osaka) is often inspired by
a personal experience or emotion which she expands into
universal human concerns: life, death, and relationships.
She explores this sensation of a ‘presence in the absence’
in her work. Shiota lives and works in Berlin.
