Mariko Mori (3)

Mariko Mori is a photographic and video artist. Prior to hr artwork, she was working as a fashion model which influenced her early work. Mori often uses Eastern mythology and Western culture in her art. her early works, such as Play With Me, she became an exotic alien creature in everyday scenes. In 1994, she had an exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London. Her later works show her as a goddess, transcending her early roles via technology and image and abandoning realistic urban scenes for more alien landscapes.

Woww, this work is insane! Mori's artwork reminds me of Lady Gaga, both of them do out of this world creations and have a strange, yet captivating obsession with outer space. What's even more interesting is how she uses herself as a canvas and her body is her artwork. Also, I find it inspirational how she's so different. It's inspiring because not only is it unique, but I also think it encourages people to free themselves.
