Chiharu Shiota is a Japanese performance and installation artist best known for creating monumental yet delicate environments. Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne, commissioned Shiota to create an ambitious, immersive installation that would pervade their entire gallery space. In a work that took almost three years to develop, Shiota describes her Towner installation as “a thread installation with doors," saying “The doors are doors that used to be in Berlin apartments. I’m sure they could tell a lot of stories. Doors also open and close, just as people enter our lives and leave them again. All these elements manifest themselves in memories.“
