BEPPU, Japan, Sept. 16, 2022 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ --

- Exhibition is Ongoing through October 16 -

The Mixed Bathing World Executive Committee is hosting an exhibition of 
artworks by internationally acclaimed Berlin-based artist Chiharu Shiota 
through October 16 with "Culture City of East Asia 2022. OITA" Executive 
Committee in Beppu City, Oita Prefecture.

The exhibition transforms two buildings in the Beppu Station area into dynamic 
and finely detailed art installations. For visitors to experience the 
exhibition on a deeper level, explanatory documents are available at the 
satellite venue, and a booklet is going to be published in Japanese and 
English. 

The work of Chiharu Shiota, which deals with such primordial questions of 
humanity as life, death, existence, and memories, jolts the emotions of viewers 
with its astounding and experiential style. The two executive committees 
believe that the exhibition will be an opportunity for many people to confront 
the question of what it means to live and find a focal point of hope for the 
future.
