The image is a striking, modern festival graphic for the “Nippon Connection” Japanese Film Festival 2026 in Frankfurt am Main (June 2–7), designed in bold shades of pink, red, and white. At the center, there is a stylized face shown in profile. A hand is pulling a white mask away from the face. Beneath the mask, instead of a normal face, a bright pink surface appears, filled with many circular bubbles or dots, creating an abstract, almost organic impression. The face and mask have a smooth, minimalistic look, resembling a blend of a theatrical mask and a digital illustration. The hair is depicted as a large, solid red shape.

Three men in suits sit at a round table with microphones, apparently participating in a television or discussion program. The man in the middle is holding a cigarette and looking to the side. In the background, there is a modern building by the water as well as a church tower. The image has the appearance of an older television recording from the 1970s.

Close-up view of an organic structure in shades of orange, red, and violet. Fine, semi-transparent branching forms and circular patterns surround a bright central area. The high magnification reveals intricate details, textures, and subtle color gradients.

PERIODENSYSTEM

The image shows a concert scene viewed from the stage. In the foreground, a person (Mick Jagger) is wearing a red-and-white striped top hat and holding a microphone close to his mouth. He is shown from the side and illuminated by reddish-blue stage lighting. In the background, a large and tightly packed crowd faces the stage. The atmosphere appears energetic and musical, likely during a live performance.

Gimme Shelter

The image shows a person in front of a neutral, light gray background. They are wearing a black hoodie, and the lower part of their face is covered with a black cloth or mask. Their dark hair is styled into two small buns on top of the head, with straight bangs at the front. The make-up is particularly striking: dark tones surround the eyes, complemented by golden accents, giving the gaze an intense, almost mysterious quality. The person looks directly into the camera. With both hands, they hold the black hoodie, which is stretched over a tree trunk. The trunk, with its rough, textured bark, creates a strong contrast to the clothing and the smooth background. Overall, the composition feels artistic and slightly mystical.

The image shows two artists working together in an art studio. In the center is a large green metal barrel painted with a portrait of Vincent van Gogh. On the left, one person is standing in front of the barrel and painting with a brush. On the right, another person is sitting on a low stool while holding a paint palette. In the background, several canvases and paintings can be seen leaning against the walls of the studio. Various paints and art supplies are also spread around the room. The atmosphere appears creative and focused. The scene gives the impression of collaborative artistic work in a modern art studio.

Four performers sit closely together on the floor of a theatre stage. They wear striking, colorful costumes and short black wigs. One person lies at the front, appearing exhausted or asleep, while the other three gather tightly around them, gently holding and supporting the resting figure. The group conveys a sense of calm, reflection, and connection. Warm stage lighting focuses on the performers, while the background remains dark. The stage floor is made of wood.
