Chiharu Shiota weaves her web at the Guimet Museum.
The Japanese artist has been patiently pulling her threads for several years now, like poetic traps that close on visitors, both surprised and delighted to let themselves be encapsulated in a mysterious cocoon.
The Guimet Museum gives him carte blanche for a glowing and spectacular immersion.
The Japanese woman invests the rotunda with beautiful architecture to pull threads from its top and tangle together miniaturized everyday objects (beds, chairs, pianos, etc.).
In this domestic and protective den, the Japanese revives the notions of immobility, silence and confinement, which she suffered during the confinements in Berlin, where she has lived for 25 years.
Born in Osaka in 1972, Chiharu Shiota is more of a free spirit who "knits" her monumental spiders all over the world.
