Today opened to the public the SHIBUYA PARCO exhibition that will take place from November 22 to December 16 at Shibuya’s PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO and from November 22 to December 8 at GALLERY X, showcasing the collages created by Kosuke Kawamura (河村康輔) using the images from Katsuhiro Otomo's manga AKIRA. This collages originally covered the 63 meters of the construction site where Shibuya PARCO was being rebuild from May 2017 to August 2019.
OFFICIAL EXHIBITION INTRODUCTION
AKIRA is a story set in 2019, a year before the 2020 Tokyo olympics. Kawamura used some images from the cartoon to create some collages, which was shown on a temporary barricade at construction site in Shibuya for 2 years and 3 months as, 'Ast wall (temporary barricade).
Being that the 'Art Wall' functioned as a temporary construction barricade this year in 2019, these two were put together, including documentation of original works of AKIRA. We hope to give a glimpse of the time and city, symbolizing one of the most iconic manga history.
