Manga: the trash aesthetics of the Japanese culture
Clean graphics and a rapid succession of images are two of the peculiarities that have made Japanese cartoons famous in the West. They are also the distinctive signs that sanctioned their immediate success, turning them into cult objects of planetary renown. Once considered a subversive instrument of the poorer classes, today Mangas are synonymous with the everyday culture of the Rising Sun.
This Viennese exhibition, curated by Johannes Wieninger, explores the boundaries of this form of communication by images and pushing content to the rear for once, takes a look at the sign, the graphic language and the structure of the narrative, which in Mangas is not linear but intuitive, full of constant changes of perspective and coup de théàtre.
