Chiharu Shiota, a Japanese artist based in Berlin, has developed a body of work characterized by the relationship between the body, memory, and objects. Known particularly for her immersive installations made with threads, clothing, furniture, keys, and other everyday objects, Shiota creates spaces in which the personal and the collective are united through physical and symbolic networks.
Her work addresses themes such as presence, absence, life, death, and human connections, without separating them from the objects that accompany daily life. After training with Marina Abramović, she developed her own artistic language in which emotional intensity is embodied through enveloping networks and objects imbued with memory.
Her international recognition was cemented in 2015, when she represented Japan at the Venice Biennale with "The Key in the Hand", an installation composed of thousands of keys suspended above two wooden boats. Her works are included in prestigious international collections such as the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the National Museum of Art (Tokyo), the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma (Helsinki), the Hoffmann Collection (Berlin), and the Fundació Sorigué (Lleida), among others.
