If you wish to get to know the Bates Motel of Psychosis, the Overlook of The Shining or you were moved by Hotel California by the Eagles then you just cannot miss Los Hoteles de la Imaginacion (The Hotels of the Imagination) in the MuVIM. Come and wander round their surprising hallways.
The new exhibition proposal of the Valencian Museum of Illustration and Modernity (MuVIM), Los hoteles de la imaginacion, invites visitors to mentally visit those fictitious hotels of our memories that form part of films, novels and songs.
The exhibition, which benefits from the collaboration of the Valencia Illustrator's Association (APIV), puts on display singular labels, similar to those that many travellers stamp their suitcases and passports with, created by 25 illustrators from both sides of the Atlantic, and that make reference to 25 fictitious and imaginary hotels.
Hoteles de la imaginacion has an informative function, that of making the 25 works of fiction known, whether they be well-known or not, of illustrators who have been chosen for using images in a narrative manner in their work. The texts that accompany the labels describe the hotels as if they were guidebooks that one buys when facing a trip.
Hotels such as the Bates Motel of Psychosis, the hotel Costa Verde of La noche de la iguana (The night of the iguana), the hotel Overlook in The Shining, the Hotel California of The Eagles, the Heartbreak Hotel of Elvis Presley, the hotel New Hampshire of John Irving, the Hotel Existence that Paul Auster cites in Brooklyn Follies and so on right up to 25, are some of those represented in this exhibition that will remain in the MuVIM up to the 15th April.
