This beautifully produced monograph offers a striking visual and critical exploration of the work of Chiharu Shiota (b. 1972, Osaka), the acclaimed Japanese artist known for her immersive, thread-based installations. These poetic environments - woven from vast networks of red, black or white yarn - have captivated audiences around the world, evoking themes of memory, absence and the body.
Featuring a newly commissioned essay by Yung Ma and an in-depth interview with the artist by the novelist Yoko Tawada, the book presents stunning installation photographs of Shiota's recent works, including a compelling series of intricate drawings. At once intimate and expansive, this volume provides fresh insight into one of the most resonant and distinctive voices in contemporary art.
