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. Inside a mummy-like construction—a skeleton with loosely wrapped cloth and the characteristic long pink tongue—is seen clutching a teddy bear. Other objects wedged below the figure are a honey pot, glue, and a can of energy drink—some of Who's favorite things—evoking the Egyptian custom of including funerary goods to use in a future existence.
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. Drawing on the tipped-in images, the outline of Who has been added to historical photographs of Howard Carter, who in 1922 discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun, a photo of the actress Elizabeth Taylor with her then-husband Senator John Warner in 1976 at an early blockbuster exhibition of Egyptian art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the image of an Egyptian statuette depicting the god of mummification Anubis and one of the mummified head of Tutankhamun.
