Exhibition catalogue published in 1999 on the occasion of Mariko Mori’s show Esoteric Cosmos at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. Esoteric Cosmos was the artist’s first comprehensive exhibition in Europe which showed 11 large-scale photographs and video installations from 1995 to 1998. Mori's art mixes television, comics, magazines, new technologies, music, art and fashion - and expresses an idealistic perspective on the future. The theatrical setting and costuming of her sci-fi and cosmic acclaimed photo-panoramas undeniably reflect Japan's ‘shōjo’ culture, featuring heroines that often fight magical enemies, or deal with the challenges of the transition from girlhood to womanhood.
