TROPICAL ISLAND

Love Hotel by Mariko Mori, 1994

Mori’s images from the mid-1990s refer to the stereotypes and restrictive atmosphere experienced by young working women. Her early work consisted of self-portraits in which she inserted herself into various environments that served to call attention to her incongruous placement in the scene. One of the best known, Tea Ceremony III (1994), featured Mori offering tea to businessmen passing by on the sidewalk, dressed in a typical ‘office lady’ uniform with the addition of a cyborg-inspired cap and tights. The men pay her no heed, despite her rather strange attire and unusual location outdoors, which Mori suggests highlights the subservient and often invisible role of women in the workplace. - Karen M.
