Fans, AI and copyright: why not everything is allowed
How a simple pencil stroke changed the way I see anime
Editorial axes
The imacollector® blog analyzes, documents and questions the visual and cultural memory of Japanese pop culture, where works, images and objects intersect.

Memory and heritage
Questioning what works transmit over time: memories, influences, cultural traces and personal resonances.

Mémoire et héritage
Interroger ce que les œuvres transmettent avec le temps : souvenirs, influences, traces culturelles et résonances personnelles.

Collecting differently
Thinking of collecting as an act of choice, preservation and transmission, rather than accumulation.

Anime art & process
Exploring the behind-the-scenes of animated creation: drawings, production stages and the invisible gestures without which no work would exist.
Explore by universe
By exploring anime, figurines, video games and collectibles, I document the visual and cultural memory of Japanese pop culture.
