This almost makes me want to renew my passport and plan a lovely autumn trip to London.
Mariko Mori has been posing in her custom transparent "time capsules" at famous locations around the world for more than a decade. Her team photographs her with a 360-degree camera. All 13 segments of the work titled "Beginning of the End" will be exhibited in London at the Albion gallery from October 12 - December 22.

Stephen Wallis of Departures magazine writes:
For Mori, whose art often blends pop glamour and mysticism, Zen Buddhism and Hollywood sci-fi, this project has a higher purpose."It's kind of a peace mission," Mori says, "connecting East and West as well as past, present, and future."
