The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain presents, for the first time in Europe, the work of Japanese artist Tabaimo, a rising star in animation and video art.

Breaking away from the prevailing aesthetic of anime in Japan, Tabaimo’s creations are inspired by her observation of modern city life, but borrow their nuanced hues from traditional Japanese prints. The three video installations presented at the Fondation Cartier plunge viewers into a world that is both alluring, infinitely troubling, and revealing of present-day Japan’s dark side.
