Mariko Mori: All That Shines
Oct 31, 2026 at 10:00am ~ Mar 28, 2027 at 10:00pm
Mori Art Museum stages the first major Japanese retrospective of Mariko Mori since 2002’s Pure Land at MOCA Tokyo. Roughly forty works trace over three decades of Mori’s shift from the sci-fi, cyborg-inflected photography that made her name in the ’90s toward the sprawling, meditative installations she’s known for now, work shaped by Buddhist cosmology, Jōmon and Celtic prehistory, and ideas drawn straight from astrophysics.
The show, co-organized with the Guggenheim and co-curated by Alexandra Munroe and Kataoka Mami, spans photography, video, drawing, sculpture, and large interactive installations. Highlights include Tom Na H-iu, which translates neutrinos from supernova explosions into pulses of light, alongside outdoor pieces like Primal Rhythm: Sun Pillar and Ring: One with Nature, both aligned to the winter solstice sun. Title aside, “All That Shines” (燦燦, sansan, meaning brilliantly shining) gets at the throughline of Mori’s whole practice: light as a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical.
Expect an exhibition that plays as much as it provokes thought, structured as a walk through Mori’s evolving universe rather than a straight chronological survey.
