“Mixed Media Installation by 塩田千春 Chiharu Shiota (b. 1972 Japan): State of Being: Boy’s Kimono, 2013 (Metal, kimono, black thread)” / Galerie Daniel Templon / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.14043
Here is another mixed media installation by Chiharu Shiota (塩田千春 Shiota Chiharu b. 1972 Osaka, Japan), the artist I knew nothing about but fell in love with after my brief visit to Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 recently.
For her “State of being” series, a physical object—a boy’s kimono in this case—is suspended in air with black threads. Some have mentioned that they look like charcoal drawings, and they definitely do have that feel to it. Except that it is just a web of threads affixed to a metal frame.
It reminds one of an old precious long-forgotten item found inside the attic, memories which are trapped somehow—unreachable, but there.
Stunning at its simplicity but masterful in its execution. It is suspended between reality and surrealism. Highly recommended.
