She often combines the rich symbolism of the thread with old objects that embody personal stories. With a background in painting and performance, Shiota has continued to develop her interest in the body and the bodily gesture in her installations. The visual impression is both fragile and massive, and the body\u2019s response upon entering into the work is an important part of the artist\u2019s objective.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48690\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48690\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.area-arch.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-48690 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.area-arch.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.tecnichenuove.it\/areaarch\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/static.tecnichenuove.it\/areaarch\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.tecnichenuove.it\/areaarch\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.tecnichenuove.it\/areaarch\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.tecnichenuove.it\/areaarch\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/static.tecnichenuove.it\/areaarch\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print-1068x600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/static.tecnichenuove.it\/areaarch\/2017\/11\/Shiota_earth_and_blood_2014_print-748x420.jpg 748w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48690\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chiharu Shiota, Earth and Blood, 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Boats from Western Norway<br \/>\n<\/strong>Shiota\u2019s complex thread constructions have been compared with \u201cdrawing in the air\u201d, and frequently include everyday objects. She has also employed photography and video in several of her installations. At KODE in Bergen the artist will incorporate old boats from Norwegian West Coast in her work. These boats were once an everyday means of transportation along the coast outside of Bergen, and the title incorporates a reference to the act of travelling. At the same time Shiota touches upon the idea of finding one\u2019s way in a broader perspective: \u201cIn this installation I concentrate on the distance we cover during our lives, and the journey we take has an unclear destination.
