Mariko Mori

Named after a sacred site of ancient pilgrimage Mori has personally visited, Kumano merges the artist's embodiment of Japan's spiritual heritage with her innovative use of role-playing and computer graphics. Mori assumes the personas of a fox fairy, a shaman, and an alien-like angel to represent the past, present, and future, embodying the harmonious convergence of diverse temporal planes and belief systems.

A woman with iridescent eyes clad in a lustrous white costume, while futuristic like a cyborg, her gestures are somehow mystical, like those of a shrine maiden. Her meditative singing voice accompanies her toying with a glass orb, transporting the audience to a mysterious state.
