Mission Gallery is pleased to present Final Fantasy; this screening portrays the unique ways in which contemporary visual artists present animation as a medium and subject in their artistic practice.

Animation is not only for children but also for adults, including contemporary artists, we grow up with an animation culture. For instance, today, Japanese contemporary art is influenced directly by animation. Takashi Murakami’s ‘Hiropon’, is perhaps the most well known example of the crossover between anime and contemporary art. This constructed world consequently destroys the borders between high and low culture. Animation blending of diverse influences enlarges and enriches the vision in animation and our looking at real life.

Final Fantasy is the work of nine artists based in London, Tokyo and Taipei; it implicates visual experience informed by new technologies, where "reality" and “fantasy” are mixed.  Humor, imagination, reality, and fantasy is the animation world they explore, exercising a diverse media that includes video, graphic form and animation. They created a fantasy world that enriches our fantasy world.
