I must create the world in order to breathe in the world; I don't exist unless I create.
- Mariko Mori

Mariko Mori is a Japanese contemporary artist. Her art concept involves taking traditional Japanese culture, as well as its history, and adding futuristic components to create a final piece. Much of her work involves photography. It is common to find a futuristic theme involving cosplay costumes as the central focus of her photos. Mori's photography process involves many self-portraits with hand-made costumes and thematic elements, including aliens and robots. One of her most recognized works is from an early point in her career, entitled Play With Me. She dressed up as an overly sexualized alien woman and posed in acts of every day life. Her tableau pieces often emphasize a futuristic setting meshed with the traditional role women are faced with. Mori also explores philosophical aspects in her works of art. She expresses a deep connection to nature to help explore the concepts of consciousness, death and modern technology. Through this exploration, she has created interactive installations, such as Wave UFO.

What is Performance Art?

Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
