Hi, this is
Shico.
I’d like to serially
introduce recent works of a contemporary artist of NY, Mariko Mori who is an
internationally acclaimed artist, whose works have been acquired by museums and
private collectors worldwide.
First up is
of Opera! She designed sets and costumes of “Madame Butterfly” at La Fenice during Venice Biennale from
June 21 to 30, 2013. This work teaches us a renewed recognition that she is very
“Artist”. An inordinate number of reviews!
When I saw Madam
Butterfly, a work of Academy Award-winning film director, the late Anthony
Minghella in London, I was so impressed with his splendid work which the illumination
was completely different from all previous ones. Her work, however, is worlds
apart in my impression; On the stage, an objet
d'art which symbolized transmigration came up to express the rebirth of the
soul of the Madame (Ciocio), and an originally
gloomy black image opera was changed into a fantastic, spiritual image. I found
a gorgeous stage direction with a beautiful orchestra performance. As for her,
there seemed to be more feelings, but this opera was collaboration …, and she
said “This work has a benefit of such collaboration between the most historic
opera house and contemporary art.
