Rebirth: Recent Work by Mariko Mori

Friday, October 11 — Sunday, January 12

Transcircle 1.1 was the first work created by Mariko Mori that drew inspiration from ancient Jōmon culture, a major influence in her recent body of work. Much like the Celts and Stonehenge, the Jōmon people used standing-stone circles to mark the passage of time. Transcircle 1.1 is the high-tech equivalent—using a real-time control system, the artwork tracks the rotations of each planet in our solar system and represents those celestial bodies using the various colors seen here.



An icon of 1990s Japanese pop art, the visionary artist Mariko Mori has always transformed herself effortlessly and faster than anyone else into the future. Japan Society Gallery presents her latest countenance in this major solo exhibition, Rebirth, as a significant artistic statement by Mori. The entire gallery space is transformed into Mori's world through 35 sculptures, drawings, photographs, sound and video works, strung together into a narrative of birth, death and rebirth—a continuous circle of life force that the artist observes on a cosmic scale. Journey through space, time and consciousness in this immersive installation.
