MOREiko Mori
Inspired by the Buddhist concept that all things in the universe are interconnected, Mariko Mori believes that art shares with electronic technology, religion and even fashion photography the ability to give form to our dreams, fantasies and desires. Her work envisions fantastic worlds and beings in spectacular photographs and videos that look surprisingly real. Mori's art removes legendary figures from the historical past and recontextualizes them outside of time. By merging seemingly oppositional themes such as nature and culture, religion and science, past and future, Mori advances Andy Warhol's Pop philosophy of the early 1960s that broke down similarly oppositional barriers between "high" art and "low" popular culture.
Mori studied fashion design in Tokyo, worked briefly as a model and later studied fine art in England. This background is reflected in her elaborately produced photographs, videos and sculpture that are as characteristic of Hollywood as they are an artist's studio. Her recent work involves exotic landscapes, computer-generated images and choreographed performances for which the artist designs her own costumes and plays the central characters.
