Mariko Mori's "Infinite Renew" | Louis Vuitton's Espace Gallery

Curator of the Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo 8_TH exhibition entitled Infinite Renew, Mariko Mori redefines and inhabits the gallery’s high-ceiling and glazed space through 8 pieces, out of which 7 have been created especially for the show and 3 are supported by Espace Louis Vuitton Tokyo.

Around the Infinite Energy triptych – a series of 3 high-tech spirals connecting the visitors from the floor to the ceiling and beyond through a camera/LED real-time monitored set-up – Mariko Mori shows 3 sculptures from her newest research: Renew I, Renew II and Butterfly.

In this video for The Creators Project, Mori discusses the Espace retail space and how she created art to take advantage of its features:

The sculpture series of Renew follows the Möbius form and reflects the common faith of existence, from the primal particles to the multiverse, the never-ending circulation of the life and death. As every existence renews its life, there is no beginning or end. Every atom on the earth is produced in the Universe, and our body is composed from those atoms. The Universe is the mother of all living forms. Considering 96% of our universe is made up of invisible energy, our beings may also be made of this same invisible energy.

The sculpture Birds II and the animated movie Ālaya, displayed on the LED screen (at ground floor level of the venue), link to the Artist’s personal experiences while, like the other pieces exhibited here, they express something deemed invisible.

The exhibition Infinite Renew indeed invites the visitors to experience an endless renewal of invisible energy, but it also reminds us of “our common faith of the endless renewal of its energy”.
