Shibuya culture PROJECT

Works that the comics and novels and the original is, when you jump out a sheet of paper made into a movie, animation, is often said to be difficult to exceed a quite original. Of course, an excellent original before, would be the form of one of courtesy for the work also because faithfully movie and animation by the original of the image. However, when a character who has been written on the paper pops out in a three-dimensional, in the spread of the image you want to leap from the two-dimensional, also because further fun the plus works, exist in very rare.
This time, you want from within the current work being screened at Shibuya, I tried to pick up some examples that added a new value image, which started from paper to obtain a three-dimensional world.

Parco FactoryIn, October 3 from (gold) up to 20 days (month), exhibition of a collection of about 80 points from the early works of the shaped writer Baume girl figure until the latest work"Baume artist debut 10th Anniversary Exhibition"It has held.
