The MAO presents Chiharu Shiota: The Soul Trembles.

The major monographic exhibition dedicated to the Japanese artist is a wide-ranging and articulated project of great expressive power, tracing Shiota's entire production through drawings, photographs, sculptures, and some of his most celebrated environmental and monumental installations.

Often inspired by personal experiences, Chiharu Shiota's works explore the intangible - memories, emotions, images and dreamlike visions, offering spaces of silence and contemplation - and pose questions about universal and existential concepts such as identity, the relationship with the other, life and death.

His most famous installations, composed of red or black threads woven together to create imposing structures, envelop the spaces in which they are placed, transforming their volumes and guiding the spectator into an immersive experience in which fascination alternates with disquiet, movement with stasis.
