Mariko Mori's Major Retrospective at Mori Art Museum in 2026

Mariko Mori will have a major international museum retrospective at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo from October 31, 2026, to March 28, 2027. The exhibition traces her three-decade career, from early 'female cyborg' works to immersive environments exploring consciousness, technology, and spirituality. Mori's practice draws from Buddhist philosophy, prehistoric cultures, and scientific collaboration. Key works include 'Dream Temple' (1999), 'Wave UFO' (1993-2003), and 'Tom Na H-iu' (2006), which used neutrino data. Her concept of 'Oneness' frames interconnection as ecological and ethical. Mori reflects on her father's death as a turning point, leading her to question the soul's destination. She collaborates with scientists and engineers to visualize metaphysical ideas. The retrospective aims to inspire younger generations on sustainability and interconnectedness.
