Mariko Mori: Oneness - Vicky Hayward

Hatje Cantz - <p>Unikátní kolekce díla "Digitální divy, v nádherném provedení - vázané v imitaci kůže. <br />A unique collection of works by the "Digital Diva", in a beautiful edition – bound in imitation leather and embossed in three colors. </p><p>Japanese artist Mariko Mori (*1967 in Tokyo) has maintained a consciousness for the unity of the material, spiritual, and technological world. Her latest work, Tom na H-iu, a four-and-a-half-meter-tall glass sculpture, also blends ancient rituals with 21st-century technology. The monolith was inspired by Celtic menhirs, the mythical point of transition for the soul into a new life. Computerized LED rays illumate the work in various colors, a reference to the real-time appearance of neutrinos detected by the Super Kamiokande, the Japanese neutrino detector. </p><p>This extraordinary publication offers a retrospective of Mori’s entire oeuvre, and is the first to present the complete Beginning of the End: Past, Present, Future, a photographic cycle produced over a period of eleven years, in which Mori presents herself as a time traveler in a Plexiglas capsule at significant symbolic locations, from Giza to New York to Shanghai.</p>
