Mariko Mori
Mariko Mori is a video and photographic Japanese artist. She first started studying at the Bunka fashion college were she worked as a fashion model in the 1980's. Here much of her work was all about her. She took charge of her work and she was meant to be the main part of her work. She took control of her role in her work. An example of this is in the work she did called Play With Me. Here she takes on a role of an exotic alien in every day scenes. Here she is in front of a store and she is really into her character. not like many models that just get into character for a shot and then stop. She is in character through out her entire work.
Play With Me
She uses both Eastern mythology and western culture and intertwines them together in her work. She later moved to London to study at the Chelsea College of Art and Design. She has now let go of the realistic urban scenes and is now using more alien landscaping.
