The Girl from Nagasaki (Awakening)

Part of the Genesis drop by renowned artist, Michel Comte, the "Japan Series" consists of 14 unique works, which are a continuation to his cinematic film "The Girl from Nagasaki". Comte’s images are not only a feast for the eye, but an invitation to our imagination. A meshing of reality and fantasy, being and image, The Girl from Nagasaki is a melodramatic tale of love and despair. Notably, The Girl form Nagasaki is a visually exuberant trans-opera, in which modern ballet, traditional Japanese Kabuki, classical opera, animated sequences, and narrative film-making are fused into a total work of art. Each scene is a meticulously orchestrated tableaux vivant, in which every element contributes to the notion of the sublime: rupturing beauty at the threshold of terror.
