dbo:abstract
- Hikaru Fujii (藤井光, Hikaru Fujii, b. 1976) is a contemporary Japanese artist who explores the relationship between art, history, and social activism. Primarily working in documentary film and multi-channel video installation, Fujii employs archival research, fieldwork, interviews, and workshops to create artworks to examine the relationships between historical narrative and education, structural violence, crisis, race, and power. Of particular interest for him are the role and responsibility of museums and institutions as sites that preserve and perpetuate specific historical narratives. After the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and nuclear disaster, Fujii has actively documented the disaster and raised awareness around the world about the situation in Japan. Fujii has exhibited his work internationally, including Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (MOT); National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; 2019 Aichi Triennale, Nagoya; Sendai Mediatheque, Sendai; Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Aomori; National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (MMCA); Kadist, Paris; and the Onassis Cultural Centre, Athens, among others. He won the Grand Prix for the Nissan Art Award in 2017, and the Tokyo Contemporary Art Award in 2020, alongside Chikako Yamashiro. He lives and works in Tokyo. (en)
