Step into “Can You See What I See?”

About the exhibition

Walter Wick's “I Spy” was first published in the USA in 1991. Its translated version entitled “Mikke!” was released the following year in Japan. Now, 30 years post, the popular series it spawned has sold a grand total of over 9.43 million copies in Japan alone — a good indication of just how much fun kids and adults alike discover in these picture puzzles where the reader hunts for toys, models, antiques, stuffed animals and all sorts of other neat things hidden amongst intricately arranged dioramas.
This exhibition puts on display giant silver halide prints of 12 selected works from the first to eleventh books in Wick's “Can You See What I See?” series. Over 3m in width, these huge productions not only amplify the intrinsic fun of combing through the photos in search of the listed items, but also fuel the powerful photographic expression, inviting you to dive into and experience the Walter Wick's world like a kid on holiday.
A different world unfolds when pages from the “Can You See What I See?” picture puzzles are this big. Who knows, you might find something that got away when you were a kid. In any case, whether you indulged in the intrigue when you were young or are seeing “Can You See What I See?” for the first time, the challenge awaits!
