In one gallery, over 400 old suitcases were suspended from red rope. Towards one end they almost touched the floor and they gradually got higher and higher towards the other end of the gallery, making unusual use of the large space.

Chiharu Shiota at The New Art Gallery Walsall
I have seen Chiharu Shiota's work before, at 'Lost in Lace' at the Gas Hall in BM&AG. The two installations at Walsall are similar in scale and use the same mass of 'spiders web' threads. What I liked about the exhibit at Walsall was that you could walk right into each room - totally immersing yourself in the work.
