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.

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

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 ‘light and space’?

The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
