Simon Fujiwara's Who Discovered Whotankhamun? I draws on the well-known images of Egyptian mummies. Constructed from cardboard and repurposed sections from packaging, this sarcophagus however is especially shaped to hold Fujiwara's cartoon-figure Who: the top has a doubled curve to accommodate its ears.
The accompanying collages take the form of a catalogue or photo album: one image depicts the title page, the other two page spread, presumably from the inside of the book, bookmarked by a pink tail band, in reference to Who's omnipresent pink tongue.
