EXPOSITION : Junji Ito, nightmare & obsession
This is your expo, it was made for you. Be bold, take the step forward. But don't forget: this attraction to the macabre requires a foot six feet under!
In the Junji Ito, Nightmare & Obsession exhibition, immerse yourself completely in the universe of horror master Junji Ito! The 400m² gallery is interactive and packed with exclusive information.
Visitors will step into darkness, accompanied by Ito's characters (Tomie, Soïchi...), his themes and his favorite authors (Kazuo Umezu, Lovecraft, body horror...), all for a gloomy scenery that'll spiral out of control!
You can learn everything about Junji Ito! His influences, his childhood thrills, his corpus and skeleton in the closet:
- Brand new artwork from the author
- Panels reproduction
- A sensory journey inspired by Junji's stories in a darkened space
- Multimedia space with an exclusive interview with the artist
- A selection of goodies on display
Obsession and nightmare: Junji Ito's work is defined by these two characteristics. First, the attraction, the fascination for the inexplicable, sometimes expressed in obsessive madness (Uzumaki) or uncontrollable instinct. Then there's the repulsion, the dread felt when confronted with what lurks in the darkness, the forces that overtake us and the emotions that reshape human beings.
This exhibition will show you Junji Ito's dark side, in both form and content.
Due to the graphic nature of the images on display, which may offend the sensibilities of the youngest visitors, the exhibition is forbidden to anyone under 18yo, and will only be accessible with an ID card.
