Mariko Mori is an internationally acclaimed artist who focuses mainly on the fields of photography, film, and performance art, recognized for her practice that explores universal questions at the intersection of life, death, reality, and technology. Her peculiar connection and coexistence with art transcend in all dimensions, even in the residence she designed for herself on the Japanese island of Miyako.

Miyako located close to Taiwan and to Japan is a popular destination with white sandy beaches, coral reefs, and a balmy climate.

Mariko spent more than five years engaged in observing the surroundings, nature, the light and the sun, applied in 3d models, in different forms and structures. The spherical building is also Mori’s studio space and, in many ways, a direct extension of her artistic work.

In partnership with Tokyo’s Ring Architects, they built a house that would be in harmony with the landscape.
