Timelapse video of installation “A Walk through the Line“ by Chiharu Shiota

At Fabrica’s Cave the famous artist Chiharu Shiota has installed one of her spectacular installations “A Walk through the Line.” The installation is made entirely of red thread and took more than 12 days to be completed. 12 people worked everyday to complete the installation following a specific technique. “The red string symbolizes the connection between human beings throughout a timeline or individual history”, as the artist says. Each person has their own timeline, their own vision of past, present and future and theses lines intertwine creating an intimate reality within space and time. The installation is part of “Terra Mediterranea: In Action“, a project that includes a major contemporary art exhibition, an international conference and a series of parallel actions with the participation of a great number of artists from Cyprus and abroad. The project is organised by the Pierides Foundation and the Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre (NiMAC) and is curated by Dr Yiannis Toumazis. Α col
