Mariko Mori

Japanese, New York based artist Mariko Mori is best known for her video and self-portraiture focusing on the imagination and fantasy. Her work has investigated Native cultures and universal consciousness in relation to nature and her belief in the potential power of technology. Mori’s recent work explores consciousness and investigates the existence of an invisible world. Mori’s recent interests in brane cosmology and particle theory have informed delicate contemplative drawings and paintings. The exhibition at BALTIC includes new drawings from the Primal Particles and Parallel Brane series.

The exhibition also includes the installation Miracle where typically, Mori has used newly developing technologies in the production of diachronic images on glass, offering a window onto the cosmos. Mori aims to awaken people’s deeper consciousness and to make them aware of different realities. Her work asks us to think about being in a present that coincides with the past and the future.
