Hikaru Fujii

Hikaru Fujii is an artist based in Tokyo. Fujii’s practice is based on the notion that artistic production implies a close relationship with society and history. Mainly in the form of video installation, he creates work that responds to contemporary social issues through detailed research and fieldwork on unique cultures and histories of various countries and regions. Fujii organizes workshops, which are intersections for interdisciplinary and artistic collaborations between specialists from diverse fields. Here, he reenacts historical events with participants as well as generates a situation where an active discussion arises. His methodology links the present with the past in creative ways, while structurally critiquing the domains of history and society that remain invisible.
