The Mori Art Museum in Tokyo has announced Mariko Mori: All That Shines, a major retrospective tracing over three decades of the visionary artist’s career. Opening on October 31, 2026, and running through March 28, 2027, the showcase marks Mori’s first major institutional retrospective in Japan since her 2002 Pure Land exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
The show explores the artist’s expansive conceptual evolution, charting her shift from mid-1990s societal critiques toward expansive metaphysical inquiries that fuse technological futurism with ancient philosophies of consciousness. All That Shines>>features roughly forty works that showcase Mori’s multi-disciplinary innovations across computer-imaging photography, video, drawing, sculpture, and large-scale interactive environments. Visitors will encounter historic, performance-based video works like “Miko No Inori”(1996) alongside iconic installations such as “Wave UFO” (1999–2002), celebrated as the first artwork to integrate a functional brainwave bio-feedback interface inside a fiberglass vision dome.
The exhibition will also spotlight her complex, science-driven works like “Tom Na H-iu” (2006) — an interactive sculptural installation that connects directly with astrophysical data to translate real-time neutrino emissions from supernova explosions into flashing pulses of light. These are presented alongside photographic documentation of monumental, site-specific outdoor structures like “Primal Rhythm: Sun Pillar” (2011) and “Ring: One with Nature” (2016), which align directly with the celestial geometry of the winter solstice sun.
