A Japan-first exhibition celebrating the visionary artistry of cinema legend Jean-Luc Godard has taken over the iconic Ohjo Building in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho. Until August 31, the castle-shaped landmark in the heart of Kabukicho is hosting an immersive multi-screen installation that reinterprets The Image Book, the final feature-length work by the late French master.
Structured into five chapters, the film took four years to create and reflects on more than a century of history, war, religion and art, weaving together quotes from classic films, literature and artworks. The exhibition deconstructs and reassembles this complex work, freeing it from the linear constraints of the cinema screen.
Curated by Fabrice Aragno, filmmaker and longtime collaborator of Godard, the critically acclaimed show offers a rare window into the director’s creative world, inviting visitors to wander through fragments of image and sound and step inside the mind of one of cinema’s most influential figures.
Tickets are available for purchase on-site or through the official website.
