Great Light
2024
Printed fabric
Mariko Mori’s artistic career, which includes sculptures, videos, photographs, installations, digital images, and performances, is original and multifaceted. It features references to both the pop imagery and religious traditions of her native Japan, as well as elements of Western culture, often achieving results with a strong spiritual imprint that highlights the profound connections among all human beings.
From the digital images, photographs and installations featuring her as a manga heroine, to her more recent, purpose-driven projects aimed at raising awareness of environmental issues and equality among peoples, Mariko Mori’s work blends technology with the rediscovery of humanity’s ancestral roots.
The Great Light ceiling canvas was created especially for Palazzo Diedo.
