Chiharu Shiota: The Home Within
A complex installation of red webbing is taking over multiple CBD locations.
Overview
An intricate, criss-crossing lattice of shimmering red lines, The Home Within stands out as one of the most striking installations at this year's Melbourne Festival. Created by Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota, who is visiting Australia for the very first time, the towering structure is described in the program as combining "the weight of architecture and the ephemerality of organic life". You can find it at various locations around town between October 6-23 — first at Deakin Edge in Federation Square, then at Meat Market in North Melbourne, before finishing up at Melbourne Town Hall.
