At Galerie Templon in NYC, we stepped into Berlin-based, Japanese artist, Chiharu Shiota’s ethereal installation “Signs of Life”. Creating the large-scale installation on site over two weeks by weaving knotted threads, Ms. Shiota transports us into a web where the woven threads create dreamlike scenes that explore and question the idea of the “web” as a living organism akin to the neurons in our brains. As if stepping into another dimension, we are faced with pages torn out of books and the artist’s own bronzed arms entwined within the webs which “represent the treasures offered up by memory, to be seen but not touched.” As we wonder amidst the spectacular installations and sculptures, we are prompted into our own recollections, the pages torn out of our own life stories.
