Catalogue published in conjunction with Chiharu Shiota's solo exhibition at the National Museum of Art, Osaka from July to September 2008. An internationally active artist based in Berlin, Shiota often makes use of tangled yarn, cracked windows, worn-out shoes and burned pianos in her installations. Her work simultaneously imparts a fear of death and the vigor of life through ordinary objects that evoke memories of the past. This exhibition includes an installation created from old shoes collected from the general public, which is being shown for the first time in Japan, as well as the artist's films and photographs. Biography, selected bibliography and list of works provided.
