Mariko Mori : Dream temple.

Milano : Fondazione Prada, 1999.

1 volume (unpaged) : chiefly color illustrations ; 32 cm

This volume presents Mariko Mori's Dream Temple project, a full-scale temple inspired by Yumendono, an Eighth century Buddhist temple in Japan. Beginning with her pencil, ink, and watercolor drawings of cellular activity and interplanetary relationships, and continuing with architectural drawings, digital images, and video stills, Mori's vision of a contemporary meditative space is a mesmerizing journey into the micro and macrocosmic forces of creation. The finished temple, built out of dichroic glass, an ever-changing, iridescent surface, serves as a metaphor for both the body and consciousness. The high production quality and graphic design of this book harmonizes with Mori's project as well, and uses transparent vellum and fine papers to present her drawings, informal notes, Buddhist inspired thoughts written calligraphically in Japanese characters, and storyboard plans for how different components of the temple would come together. -- publisher's statement.
