Soggettiva Gallery opens on Wednesday, January 3 with a tribute to Hayao Miyazaki, one of the greatest masters of animation cinema of all time, whose latest effort by Studio Ghibli “The Boy and the Heron” will be released in Italian cinemas on January 1, 2024, distributed by Lucky Red.<\/strong><\/p>

From January 16, the exhibition will be enriched thanks to a deepening linked to the East in a broad sense, a world still far away that never ceases to fascinate us in every aspect, from calligraphy to iconic images such as “The Great Wave of Kanagawa” by Hokusai.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Soggettiva Gallery presents, from Wednesday, January 3, 2024, the new exhibition MY NEIGHBOR MIYAZAKI AND THE FAR EAST<\/strong>, a tribute to the extraordinary filmography of the Japanese director, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, wide-world reference point for for animation film lovers.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The exhibition collects – in conjunction with the release at the cinema of “The Boy and the Heron”, the new film by Miyazaki that has beaten every record<\/strong> by earning, in its first weekend, more than 11 million dollars in Japan and almost 13 million dollars in the United States – the Alternative Movie Posters of international artists and illustrators who see the Japanese master as a fundamental source of inspiration for their artistic production.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The works on display will throw new light on the great titles by Studio Ghibli such as “Spirited Away<\/strong>” \u2013 huge commercial success with more than 400 million dollars earned \u2013, reinterpreted through the garish shades of blue, red and light blue by the Belgian artist Mainger<\/strong> and through metaphysical atmospheres by the American architect Bailey Race<\/strong>. “Ponyo<\/strong>” is represented by the kaleidoscope and whirlwind work by Chris Koeler<\/strong>, while Zi Xu<\/strong> presents us “Princess Mononoke<\/strong>“, a choral portrait of magical creatures and masks typical of the Japanese tradition.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Among Miyazaki’s films to which the public is most attached is “My Neighbor Totoro<\/strong>“: on display there will be Jordan Bolton<\/strong>‘s versions, in the highly detailed and obsessive version dedicated to the “props” and the one by Le Nevralgie Costanti<\/strong>, which offers a sweet and iridescent representation of Totoro exclusively for Soggettiva Gallery.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From 16 January the exhibition will be expanded thanks to a rich selection of works that refer to the myth of the East<\/strong>, the gravitational center of a poetics that is still today the object of great fascination on the part of the Western public, also for its ability to reflect a an image that is often far from the West’s perception of itself<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>

Two clear examples are Miyazaki’s films such as “Porco Rosso<\/strong>” and “Howl’s Moving Castle<\/strong>“: the work by Fabiocs<\/strong>, which portrays the protagonist on board his airplane – Miyazaki’s father was an aeronautical engineer<\/strong> – is emblematic of the former, while of the second, two dreamy versions by the famous engraver Dan Grissom<\/strong> will be exhibited.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Among the elements that most attracted the attention of the artists on display were the different and highly sought-after oriental handwritings<\/strong>. In fact, there are various Alternative Movie Posters that combine the imagery of great classics of Western cinema with the use of words written with Chinese, Japanese or Korean alphabets<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>

Among the most representative works of this genre are those created by the American collective Rucking Fotten<\/strong>, known for the very limited periods with which it makes its works available: 8 titles by them will be exhibited, including “A Clockwork Orange<\/strong>“, “Warriors of the Night<\/strong>” \u201d and \u201cRosemary’s Baby<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Another trend is to create a mix, and therefore a short circuit, between Western and Eastern imagery: among the works on display \u201cNinja Star Wars<\/strong>\u201d by Steve Bialik<\/strong>, the version of \u201cJaws<\/strong>\u201d reinterpreted by Mark Bell<\/strong> \u2013 in which the shark merges with one of the most famous images in the world, the woodcut by the Japanese painter Hokusai entitled “The Great Wave off Kanagawa<\/strong>” -, or even the works of Jed Henry<\/strong>, a fine illustrator who uses only handmade Japanese paper: his two versions of \u201cStar Wars<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cSpirited Away<\/strong>\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Also on display are masterpieces of Japanese animation and comics that have been revisited and transformed into Alternative Movie Posters: this is the case of “Godzilla<\/strong>“, seen through the eyes of Max Dalton<\/strong> and, exclusively for Soggettiva Gallery, of Francesco Casolari<\/strong> from Bologna; The refined works of renowned artists such as the Van Orton<\/strong>\u00a0and the American Anthony Petrie<\/strong>, fascinated by topographies and maps, are dedicated to “Akira<\/strong>“.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Finally, we could not miss the classical Japanese cinema such as Akira Kurosawa<\/strong> (on display a work by BRVM<\/strong> inspired by “Drunken Angel<\/strong>“) and Yasujiro Ozu<\/strong> (the Frenchman Tom Haugomat<\/strong> focused on “Tokyo Story<\/strong>“) but also more recent masters of oriental cinema: the illustrator Silvia Cocomazzi<\/strong> has worked for Soggettiva Gallery on Wong Kar-wai\u2019s films<\/strong>, while other artists have chosen to rework the films of South Korean directors such as Bong Joon-ho<\/strong> (“<\/strong><\/em>Parasite”, “The Host”, “Memories of a Murderer”<\/strong><\/em>“) and Park Chan-Wook<\/strong> (“Oldboy<\/strong>“).<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
