Simon Fujiwara (b.1982, London, UK) spent his childhood between Japan, England, Spain and Africa. In dense dramas about personal relationships, family relations, politics, architecture and history, Fujiwara’s work explores biographies and ‘real-life’ narratives through a combination of performance, video, installation and short stories.In linking fictional and real people, locations and events he explores the boundary between the real and the imagined, often revealing the very fiction of such distinction. Fujiwara’s work has been exhibited internationally at the Contemporary Art Society, UK, 2014; Tate Liverpool, UK, 2012; Dvir Gallery, Tel Aviv, 2012; 53rd Venice Biennale, 2009; and the Schindler House/MAK Center for Contemporary Art, USA, 2009. In 2010, Fujiwara completed the Iaspis Residency in Gothenburg, Sweden and was awarded the Arts Foundation Fellowship Award in the UK in 2009.
