Miyazaki for Real . Nov. 2020 - Ongoing
A reverse archeological dig into Hayao Miyazaki's japanese animation. How does the imaginery space exist in the
physical world? Appropriation and translations.
This project is a tribute to Hayao Myazaki's movies and a
questionning of the interaction
of the imaginary and the physical world.
I took as point of departure "the room of Hauru" in "The Howl's
Moving Castle" to create a bridge between reality and fiction. What would happen if theses objects would be
real? what does it mean for
me to craft these on the unique purpose of making them exist? What would happen if these objects would be found
and acknowledged by somoene who doesn't know where they come from?
I imagined myself as an archeologist of
the future, finding
these artefacts and having to build knowledge from them. What does it says from History?
I opened the
process of making these objects to a french community of the movies fans on facebook. We started a group which
purposes were both to
learn and share crafting techniques and to achieve making and owning these surealistics objects. Most of the
objects are still in the process of making.
Here you can find a summary of all of them.
