About Simon Fujiwara offers a diverse palette of readings of his practice through the lens of a wide range of writers, each tackling the main concerns, themes and methodologies within Fujiwara’s practice. The essays explore some of the underlying structures and contexts of his practice by examining his work through diverse fields such as psychoanalysis, iconography, branding and marketing to grapple with the realities of living and making art in an increasingly mediated world. Described as holding a distorted mirror to the twenty-first century, the work of Simon Fujiwara is as enchanting as it is disturbing.
Produced jointly by Mudam and Hatje Cantz, this publication is the first of its kind and offers a moment to reflect on an ambitious and complex practice that continues to grow and evolve.
