Bathroom (1999)

Konusu

In this work, Shiota expressed “the memory of her skin, which cannot be entirely wiped away even after washing,” while covering herself with mud in her own bathtub. In the third year after she started living in Germany, Shiota became sharply aware of her own skin, arguably a symbol of her own identity. This was the first work where she made a video version of a performance. It also resonates with her 1997 performance piece, “Try and Go Home.”
