| Description |
Mariko Mori was born in Tokyo in 1967. Mori, who divides her time between Tokyo and New York, is a former model whose training in fashion studies rigorously informs her investigations of the impact of media on the cultural construction of identity. Her panoramic photographs and video installations present fantastic tableaux that conflate past, present, and future and feature the artist in the roles of cyborgs or otherworldly spirits. She has had solo exhibitions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Brooklyn Museum of Art among others. |
