Published on the occasion of the Mariko Mori’s exhibitions at the Serpentine Gallery London and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in 1998, this publication features four illustrated texts about the artist, full-colour plates of her work including the photo-panoramas from her “Esoteric Cosmos” series, stills from her video “Miko no Inori”, and more! 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.
