‘Invisible Line’ is a solo exhibition at the ARoS Kunstmuseum (Aarhus) by Japanese installation artist Chiharu Shiota (b. 1972, Osaka, Japan), who now lives and works in Berlin. Her installations have captivated audiences all over the world. Thoughts of mortality – loss, death – but also joy and exuberance are explored by Shiota in her work. Chiharu Shiota is best known for her large-scale ingeniously woven thread installations to mirror the way all human experiences are connected in a network of invisible lines. ‘Invisible Line’ shows six large scale installations allowing the audience to dive into Shiota’s distinctive universes. The exhibition focuses on Shiota’s often humble yet always powerful drawings and paintings letting the spectators realize their significance as works of art. In ‘Invisible Line’ we find the work Last Hope; one of Shiota’s most beautiful installations. Last Hope is an all-encompassing thread installation created to make its audience wonder and inspire hope. You can also experience one of her most direct and raw works – Light in the Darkness – which communicates without hesitation Shiota’s struggle, pain, and sorrow connected to the trials of a cancer illness.
