PROTO ANIME CUT
Spaces and visions in Japanese animation
A project by Les Jardins des Pilotes (Berlin) in cooperation with 2dk (Tokyo)
21st January - 6th March 2011
The exhibition "Proto Anime Cut" presents original drawings of the most important directors and illustrators of Japanese animated films.The action-packed hero stories and the visionary science fiction of Japanese Anime are set in impressive worlds that are constructed in painstaiking detail. Looking at the creative processes, the filmmakers appear as architectural dreamers who operate with virtuosity at the borders of credibility, fiction and utopia. The exhibition focuses on these arenas of action and narrative scenarios. Numerous background paintings, storyboards, drafts, sources of inspiration and film excerpts provide insight into the working methods of the most successful animation artists of the last two decades. "Proto Anime Cut" presents them for the first time in Europe.
The exhibition includes work by Hideaki Anno (director, Neon Genesis Evangelion), Haruhiko Higami (photographer), Koji Morimoto (director, Dimension Bomb), Hiromasa Ogura (art director), Mamoru Oshii (director, Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Innocence) and Takashi Watabe (layout).
