Japanese artist Mariko Mori has spent over three decades building a diverse body of work that spans everything from photography and computer-generated images to sculpture and large-scale interactive installations. Now a major retrospective exhibition at Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum traces her career through 40 of her most defining works. The exhibition was co-curated by Mori Art Museum’s Director Mami Kataoka and Alexandra Munroe, Senior Curator at Large, Global Arts Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, who spoke to CNN about the artist’s legacy. The exhibition is part of the city-wide events featured during Art Week Tokyo and will be on until late March.
