【Comment from ©SAINT Mxxxxxx Designers (Yuta Hosokawa, Cali Dewitt)】
We created a collage that makes full use of Masamune Shirow’s graphics. We felt that Shirow’s world and characters pair perfectly with our collage approach, which is why we incorporated it this time. Considering that his iconic Ghost in the Shell began serialization back in 1989, there’s a natural connection as well.
Starting with a black T-shirt body, we selectively removed sections of the black to create a striking two-tone look with white, then applied the large collage by hand-printing each piece. The entire process — from bleaching the black fabric to printing — was done by hand.
We hope you enjoy this one-of-a-kind exhibition that brings Masamune Shirow’s unique world to life!
