EXPOSITION: Junji Ito, nightmares & obsessions

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!

Posted on

In the exhibition Junji Ito: Obsessions & Nightmares, behold the darkness of the master of horror’s universe within a gallery spanning over 75m².
Visitors will step into the unknown 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 selection of goodies on display
 
 

Obsessions and nightmares: 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.
