Abstract
When experiencing a space, different appreciators can have different experiences, perceptions, and interpretations of meaning. Why is that so? What factors make space meaningful for certain people, and what factors influence the perception and experience of space so that space changes into a place? A case study is the space in installation art. There is a generally limited understanding that space is a physical space formed by space elements, such as four walls, a floor, and a ceiling. However, imaginary space, space sensation, and space formed by non-solid elements, such as installation art, have yet to be widely studied. Chiharu Shiota's installation art space is chosen as a case study because Shiota shapes human consciousness and non-physical experience to represent personal struggles and social and cultural identity through art. The analytical method used is a case study with existentialism theory. This research provides an understanding that the interpretation of space is a process of contextualization, recontextualization, and decontextualization of meaning conveyed by the artist, a process influenced by the existential nature of the reader's background.
