EXHIBITION10 Apr 2018 => 15 Jul 2018GHOSTS AND HELLSThe underworld in Asian art
The
exhibition focuses its attention on Asian ghost stories, delving into the
world of spirits, terror and fantastic creatures as it takes visitors on a
journey to the edges of reality, through religious art, theatre, cinema,
contemporary design and manga.
ABOUT THE
EXHIBITION
From
Buddhist to J-Horror, from Hokusai prints to Pac-Man, from the Thai spirit
culture to horror manga, the figure of the ghost has haunted the Asian
imagination for centuries. In China, Thailand and Japan - the lands that the
exhibition focuses on - the popular infatuation with terror is very real, and
one that permeates a wide variety of cultural productions. From spirits that
wander the forest, vengeful cat-women and hungry spirits that return from the
dead ("the walking dead") to jumping vampires and yokaïs
(supernatural creatures in Japanese folklore), these can appear in multiple
guises and play on artistic periods and media.
Ghosts and Hells
- the underworld in Asian art explores their omnipresence not only in objects
and documents but also in the performing arts, cinema and comics in an
attempt to better understand how they work. After all, whilst Buddhism has
played its part in the formation of this imagination – implying that souls
are in waiting between two reincarnations –, it is indeed on the fringes of
religion, in popular and secular art, that the representation of ghosts has
truly come into its own
