Mariko Mori: All That Shines — Tokyo
The Mori Art Museum shows Mariko Mori: All That Shines from 31 October to 28 March 2027, her first major retrospective in Japan since Pure Land at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2002, organised with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Some forty works span more than three decades: the “Cyborg” performance photographs and videos that made her name in the 1990s, large interactive installations on Buddhist ideas of life, death and the cosmos, and later “Oneness”, the connection of all life. The title, All That Shines, refers to the light at the centre of her work.
Wave UFO (1999–2002) was the first artwork to use brainwave biofeedback, turning the brainwaves of those inside into images.
The work is only complete when visitors lie down inside the pod with electrodes attached.
Tom Na H-iu (2006) turns neutrinos released by supernova explosions into visible flashes of light.
The title, All That Shines, points to that light at the centre of her work.
This is her first major retrospective in Japan since Pure Land in 2002.
From the 1990s “Cyborg” photographs to the Buddhist Pure Land, Jōmon and Celtic prehistory and particle physics, three decades of change in one visit.
