In a tribute to Japanese art, Boris Labbé has created “Ito Meikyū”, a <\/span>virtual fresco<\/b> that blends traditional drawing and <\/span>3D animation<\/b>. After making many films and <\/span>video installations<\/b>, “Ito Meikyū” is his first <\/span>virtual reality<\/a><\/b> project. His artwork is part of the official selection of the 2025 edition of Recto VRso, <\/span>immersive art<\/b> festival. The French artist shared with us his inspirations, which he draws mainly from Japanese society and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Influence from Traditional Japanese Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Boris Labbé was trained at Tarbes School of Art and Angoulême Animation Film School. He is a French artist whose <\/span>work is marked by hybridation<\/b>. In his projects, he combines moving images and animation film techniques. He creates mainly projections, installations, but also video installations and films<\/a>. His videos often breaks the spatial and time boundaries imposed by traditional cinema. «<\/span> Ito Meikyū<\/span><\/i> » is his first virtual reality project.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

«<\/span> Ito Meikyū<\/span><\/i> » invites a user to enter a virtual universe <\/span>inspired by Japanese literature and art<\/b>. Two books in particular, <\/span>The Pillow Book<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>The Tale of Genji<\/span><\/i>, inspired the artist. Boris Labbé choosed to highlight the composition technique called <\/span>Fukinuki Yatai, <\/span><\/i>which literally means “roof removed”. These scenes, which include landscapes, architectural elements and figures, are viewed from above, without regard to walls and ceilings. These compositions generally portray interior scenes, sometimes intimate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
