塩田千春
Chiharu Shiota
Exhibition
塩田千春以行為藝術、大型空間裝置、影像藝術、舞台設計等不同的創作形式，攫取了全球的目光，在世界各地重要的美術館、雙年展都可以看到她的作品。她同時也是2015年第56屆威尼斯雙年展日本館的代表藝術家。
塩田擅長運用各種日常物件（尤其是使用過的物件）、紅色、黑色及白色的線，交織而成的場域裝置，將觀眾置入了另一個平行時空，當觀者踏入的那一瞬間，所有的感知便從有形的軀體中抽離，漂浮在那線與線之間的縫隙，過往潛藏於內心深處、那些看不見、無法言喻的情緒、記憶、夢境、焦慮、恐懼、甚至死亡……逐漸湧上了思緒，不由自主地沈浸、没入、穿越……在那點線之間的洞隙，悸動難以平復，顫抖不已！
Chiharu Shiota has promptly attracted global attention through her unique behavioral (or performance) art, large-scale spatial installations, video art, stage design and other forms of creation. Moreover, she was the representative artist for the Japan Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015 and her works have been exhibited in the major museums and biennales around the world.
By skillfully interweaving a variety of daily objects (especially those that have been used) with red, black and white yarns, Shiota creates the so-called field installations. The audience seem to be placed in a parallel in time and space. When they step into her installations, they are floating in the gaps between the threads as if all perceptions had been detached from their physical bodies. Those invisible, unspeakable and hidden in the depths of their hearts, such as emotions, memories, dreams, anxieties, fears and even death, gradually come to their minds. They cannot help but land and immerse themselves in the interstices between the nodes and threads before finally crossing through. It is hard to calm down as the hearts are still trembling!
