Critical texts on Fujiwara's autobiographical, political and uncanny conceptual installations

British Japanese artist Simon Fujiwara (born 1982) creates immersive, often unsettling conceptual projects inspired by world history and his own personal life. These essays examine the underlying structures of Fujiwara's work, reflecting on the conditions of living and making art in an increasingly mediated world.
