They are all simple garments with designs related to elements of pop culture. Designers Pablo Amargo, Manuel Fernández, Juan Jareño, Noelia Pañeda and Alicia Varela, and artist Edgar Plans have each created a t-shirt design inspired by Murakami’s texts for the occasion.

The Dolphin Hotel. Murakami on the Shore. Installation.

Some of the main characters in Haruki Murakami’s books frequent places that allow them to find themselves. Artist Sergio Fernández will invite the public to enter The Dolphin Hotel, a space that refers to the setting of the novel Dance Dance Dance, which at the same time is a landscape where visitors will have to discover hidden mysteries.

Stone Moon, Salt Mirror. Murakami on the Shore. Installation.

Some of Haruki Murakami’s characters live between different levels of reality. Photographer Javier Bejarano uses recurring motifs and images in the Japanese author’s work to invite visitors to peer into that other side of reality. 1Q84, Killing Commendatore and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle are the source of inspiration for this installation that pays tribute to Murakami’s phantasmagorical universe.

  • Between Words. Murakami on the Shore. Installation.

    The everyday world of modern Japan and references to Western culture come together in Haruki Murakami’s literary work. The installation by Pablo Pandiella, the artist behind the name Materia Mínima, offers an ephemeral architectural intervention that invites visitors to contemplate a landscape to pay tribute to one of the writer’s best-known facets, combining the two cultures in one and the same universe.
