Guggenheim Foundation and Mori Art Museum director Mami Kataoka, the exhibition presents 40 works from Mori's over 30-year career in four chronological sections. At the press conference, Mori expressed her joy, saying she felt like having someone pinch her cheek and that exhibiting "Wave UFO" at the Mori Art Museum is a miracle.

The show includes photographs, videos, sculptures, and a large immersive installation using brainwaves.
