“Jellyfish Eyes” Screening

Accompanying the Murakami vs Murakami exhibition, Tai Kwun Contemporary showcases the film Jellyfish Eyes by Takashi Murakami. This special programme also includes Murakami’s short film Inochi, the Jellyfish Eyes 2 trailer and a special promotion video for Murakami vs Murakami exhibition.

With his first feature Jellyfish Eyes, the world-renowned Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami tells the story of the massive destruction of the world and its last-minute rescue by solidarity, friendship and courage in a fashion that evokes the tradition of anime. A boy who has lost his father, Masashi, acquires a jellyfish-like creature after he moves to the city. Masashi later finds out that his classmates also have similar creatures, and it seems to be a secret unbeknownst to the adults. Set in a post-3.11 Tsunami Japan, Jellyfish Eyes invites audiences of all ages to join and venture into the extravagantly colourful and imaginative world of Takashi Murakami.
