The Julia Stoschek Foundation is pleased to present Simon Fujiwara’s video installation Once Upon a Who? (2021) at this year’s Art Düsseldorf. The work, which is part of the Julia Stoschek Collection, will be shown in the Rhineland for the first time.
In Once Upon a Who?, Fujiwara introduces the character „Who the Bær“—a drawn bear with no fixed identity. With its simple, cartoon-like appearance, Who navigates a world of digital images that raise questions about identity formation, cultural appropriation, and media representation. With subtle humor and critical distance, the work reflects on how identity is shaped in an image-saturated society.
Simon Fujiwara, Once Upon a Who?, 2021, single-channel video installation; sofa, three stools, 4′48″, color, sound.
Come visit us at Art Düsseldorf!
