INTRODUCTION

Enki Bilal is a leading visual creator in the world of Francophone comics, Bande dessinée. From the middle of the 1970s he started publishing SF coupled with intense visual representations, and had a large impact and effect not only on cartoonists throughout the world, but also in the film world. His unique “Bilal” view of the world, represented by refined stories and a magnificent artistic skill, is not confined to comics strips and continues to be a driving force in the art world, expanding his scope to films, theater, pictures and paintings. This exhibition displays his “INBOX” installation, which was on view at the Venice Biennale in 2015, as well as a number of pictures drawn especially for the occasion by Bilal, hosted for the first time in Japan.

In 1972, he made his debut as Bande dessinée creator. His collaborations with Bande dessinée author Pierre Christin, “The Black Order Brigades” (1979) and “The Hunting Party” (1983), received high praise and number of prizes, his unique view of the world fusing SF-type visuals and political themes on the front lines.
