Simon Fujiwara - A whole new world
The work of British-Japanese artist Simon Fujiwara (1982, London) invites us to confront the complexity, absurdities and contradictions of the contemporary world. His work is often described as a mirror of society, reflecting life in a fast-moving, image-saturated era through playful, surreal and sometimes disturbing experiences. Fujiwara explores themes such as history, mythology, sexuality, psychoanalysis, architecture, art history, and anthropology, always closely connected to his personal experiences. Recurring motifs, such as iconic figures, cartoons, amusement parks, tourist attractions, and museums, show his interest in how society produces, exaggerates, or invents its own images. Beneath these alluring surfaces lies a question: why do we long for authenticity while creating increasingly artificial realities? This exhibition brings together nearly twenty years of artistic practice, highlighting the breadth of Fujiwara's work, including painting, film, performance, animation, and narrative formats, offering portraits of the unfolding 21st century.
