Everyday objects, mementoes and objets trouvés characterise the artist’s pictorial language and stand for the subject matter in her oeuvre—recollection, homeland, migration, death and life. The key figures in her expansive installations with wool threads are old suitcases and shoes, keys, pieces of clothing, furniture and letters, which she enthrallingly integrates into her works and performances.

In this bilingual publication, photographs, film stills, drawings, prints and objects from the artist’s archive comprehensively document the stations in Shiota’s oeuvre and illustrate her mostly site-specific, temporary installations. The book is published on the occasion of the first retrospective of the Berlin-based artist and concentrates on her creative work over the last 20 years.
