Caught amidst a mess of black thread, a wedding gown appears to float in midair. Although the imagery may refer to time, the installation also focuses on connections between objects. A written on Casa Asia, "[H]undreds of invisible threads that bond us to things can be seen. In these domestic scenarios she proposes, threads become bridges between a bride's dress and the absent subject, a piano, suitcases and a mirror." Created by Berlin-based artist Chiharu Shiota, the Synchronising Threads and Rhizome art exhibit is similar to her past installations including [Breath of the Spirit](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiharu-shiota-breath-of-the-spirit). Often commenting on the concepts of life and death, this art installation is no exception. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Thread Art Installations:** Artists are finding innovative ways to use thread as a primary material in their installations. - **Symbolic Installations:** Artists are creating installations that symbolically represent ideas or concepts, leading to unique viewer experiences. - **Suspension Installations:** Installations suspended in the air create an otherworldly experience for viewers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Art galleries and museums can incorporate unique installations to engage visitors and create memorable experiences. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore the use of unexpected materials, like thread, to create avant-garde designs. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use art installations as focal points within spaces, creating an immersive experience for residents or guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Human Connection-Themed Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellite-exhibition.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Sensorial Textile Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvie-johnson.md) - [Interactive Weaved Jacquard Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dung-dkar-cloak.md) - [Intricate Site-Specific Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-time.md) - [Immersive Climate Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remembering-the-future.md)
