Residencies Insights - Replaying the Past, Lecture performance by Hikaru Fujii (Japan), Artist-in-Residence

 
In the present times when hypotheses are easily turned into “facts” within SNS (social networking services), more layered understandings of the notions of truth arise from a creative use of historical archives and the reproduction of past events. Unfolding through interdisciplinary collaborations with specialists from various fields, Hikaru Fujii’s works address compelling contemporary issues through extensive fieldwork and in-depth research on cultures and histories specific to a certain country, or region. His aesthetic strategy breathes new meanings into significant recent or historical events ultimately triggering a critical perception of the current state of society. In this lecture performance, Fujii will expand upon his methodologies of re-enactment as a practice of political resistance and discuss how his work enlace the multiple terrains of archaeology, anthropology, history, and art.
