Chiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries

Asian Art Museum San Francisco
Exhibition on view: Apr 3, 2026 - Jul 20, 2026

Two Home Countries is the first solo museum exhibition in the Bay Area by Chiharu Shiota, best known for large-scale installations that fill spaces with densely woven webs of colored fibers. Featuring works spanning installation, sculpture, video, drawing, and stage design, the exhibition offers a meditation on belonging, impermanence, and living with "in-betweenness." The monumental installation Diary explores themes of nationality, identity, and memory through strands of red yarn stretching across the pavilion, with handwritten pages from Japanese soldiers' and postwar German civilians' journals suspended within. As audiences navigate the exhibition, they accompany the artist on a journey exploring the threads of memory, history, and identity that make up the complex fabric of shared reality, with later sections featuring sculptures, performance videos, and works on paper that confront the body as a contested home.
