“Mixed Media Sculpture by Chiharu Shiota: Zustand des Seins (Horn) / State of Being (Horn), 2013 (Metal, vintage horn, black thread)” / ARNDT / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.EOSM.03958
Here is another sculpture by Chiharu Shiota seen at ARNDT during Art Basel Hong Kong 2013.
A sea a black threads attached to a metal frame suspends a horn in mid-air. The threads create a cocoon, a place for the musical instrument to float in air like magic. It feels like that you should be able to reach it, but you cannot as the web is in the way. The thread web creates the volume, even though the volume is mostly made with air. It is contained, yet it is not.
It is an academically sound creation. Serious yet fun at the same time — and it is easy to see why I absolutely adore this artist by the end of the show.
