Over the past decade, Simon Fujiwara (b. 1982) has become known for his staging of large, complex exhibitions that explore the deeply rooted mechanisms of identity construction for both individuals and societies.
The work is part of Simon Fuijwara’s body of work taking its inspiration from a “build your own” model kit of the Anne Frank House which the artist bought in the museum gift shop in Amsterdam. In 2018, Fujiwara’s major solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, entitled Hope House, featured a full-scale replica of the Anne Frank House reconstructed within the museum.
