YOKAINOSHIMA, MUSEE DES CONFLUENCES, LYON

Temporary exhibition, from July 7th 2018 to August 2019.

We are surrounded by natural forces and divinities. In Japanese masked rituals, costumes are worn to transform the wearer into a god, demon or animal. The exhibition creates links between the contemporary photographs of Charles Fréger, which depict a large number of ritual masked figures, and the museum’s Japanese collections.
