HOMMAGE

Journey Into The Illuminating Worlds of Moebius, Jodorowsky, Laloux, and Métal Hurlant

Hommage is a love letter to Jean "Moebius" Giraud's visionary legacy. An immersive art experience that reimagines his surreal, expansive universes through a contemporary lens, allowing their brilliance to light up anew. This work pays tribute to Moebius and his seminal collaborations with Alejandro Jodorowsky, René Laloux, and the revolutionary spirit of Métal Hurlant, each a shining example of creative daring.

Drawing from the dreamscapes of Arzach, Time Masters, The Long Tomorrow, and The Incal, Hommage distills the psychedelic DNA of these worlds, allowing their inherent light to shine through. It breathes new life into them as a living, explorable dimension. Inspirations like Fantastic Planet, Holy Mountain, and the cult classic Métal Hurlant (1981) serve as spiritual guides—touchstones of the mind-expanding aesthetics and themes woven throughout the piece.

Built as a hybrid art world and game space, Hommage invites participants into an unfolding visual poem—a speculative terrain where colour, form, and sound echo the nonlinear storytelling Moebius so masterfully evoked.

Our intention is to make visible the invisible threads of influence Jean Giraud cast across popular culture, from sci-fi cinema to concept art and beyond. Through Hommage, we aim to introduce Moebius's fantastical visions to a new generation. To those who may not know his name but have unknowingly seen his fingerprints everywhere, we aim to make his brilliance shine forth. This is not simply nostalgia; it's an invocation, a transformation, and a celebration of imagination without borders.
