Artwalk 2013 Essen

In Miyajima, the Itsukushima Shrine can be found. It is a popular place to visit and one of the most important symbols of the Shinto religion. Its significance weighs heavy in the air.

Whoever has seen the arms of the salarymen in the streets of Osaka knows how Japan ticks. They’re certain of success.

In installations, interactive sculptures, photography or a combination of these, this year’s Artwalk takes up the theme of Nippon.
