Paris (France), Sep 28 (EFE) .- (Camera: Mario García Sánchez) Monks, samurai and giants enter the Quai Branly Jacques Chirac Museum in Paris this Tuesday through an exhibition that explores the mythology and practice of the Asian martial arts from classical times to pop culture.FOOTAGE FROM THE 'LAST COMBAT' EXHIBITION, AT THE QUAI BRANLY JACQUES CHIRAC MUSEUM, PARIS.SOUNDBITES FROM EXHIBITION CURATOR JULIEN ROUSSEAU AND ASIAN FILM SPECIALIST STÉPHANE DU MESNILDOT.Translations:Rousseau: "It is an exhibition that deals with the subject of martial arts, a very popular subject. Asian martial arts are now well known and are very globalized, and they go back to fiction, to the cinema of course, through figures such as Bruce Lee".Du Mesnildot: "Bruce Lee is obviously the mythical figure of martial arts. He was the one who popularized the term kung-fu. I don't think there is an actor who has had such a rich iconography as him. We can go to India, Africa, Russia Or anywhere in the world with a Bruce Lee photo and people will recognize him. So at that level I think he's comparable to Charlie Chaplin."
Brussels, Sep 18 (EFE) .- (Camera: Leo Rodríguez) Confusion, shame, strangeness and, sometimes, even fear is what brings together the more than 40 works in the exhibition "Ceci n'est pas un corps "('This is not a body'), which brings together the great masters of hyperrealist culture in one of the capitals of surrealism, Brussels.FOOTAGE OF THE EXHIBITION.SOUNDBITES OF EMILIE DEROM, COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR OF THE EXHIBITION.Translation:"Hyper-realistic artists turn their backs on abstraction. They try to get a very detailed representation of nature and, therefore, of the human body.As you can see behind me, some sculptures give the feeling that they are real people. The visitor is very confused. Am I dealing with a real body or a fake body? All the details are there. The contours, the textures, the hair and the nails, it is very disturbing." "Hyper-realistic artists still want to convey a message. So all these sculptures carry a certain message." "In 2008 he found himself in a difficult situation, which is why he finally represents the loss of control he had over his own body. Situations without perspectives and that is the interesting thing about hyperrealist artists, there is a message behind it."
