Mariko Mori

Featuring eighty works spanning three decades, the exhibition surveys Mori’ s practice across interactive installations, sculpture, video, photography, drawing, and performance. Throughout her career, Mori has adopted scientific perspectives and new technologies in pursuit of art forms that transcend time and connect past and future. Her ventures are linked to “Oneness” grounded in Buddhist cosmology, exploring the mutual connectedness of all things. Mori gained attention in the early 1990s for performance-based photographic and video works exploring posthuman cyborg identity. Her interests evolved from aesthetics fusing Japanese anime and futuristic worldviews to encompass ancient philosophies including Japanese nature worship, Buddhism, and prehistoric Jomon and Celtic cultures. Her work draws from quantum field theory, astrophysics, and neurophysics, collaborating with leading scientists and engineers. Since the early 2000s, she has staged large-scale installations offering immersive spatial experiences. In 2010, she established the Faou Foundation to install site-specific public art on six continents, encouraging renewed engagement with nature. Permanent installations exist in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil and Miyako Island, Japan.
