imacollector® – Japanese pop culture archives and analysis (anime, figurines, video games and collectible objects)
Editorial axes
The imacollector® blog analyzes, documents and questions the visual and cultural memory of Japanese pop culture, where works, images and objects intersect.

Works and universes
Analyzing the worlds, narratives and themes that shape works, long before they become collectible objects.

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

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.
