Simon Fujiwara's Thematic Exhibition at Mudam Luxembourg Explores Identity Construction
Mudam Luxembourg – Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean is presenting 'A Whole New World,' a survey exhibition of Simon Fujiwara's work spanning nearly two decades. The show transforms gallery spaces into immersive environments that examine how identity is shaped by contemporary visual culture, spectacle, and digital media. Fujiwara, born in London in 1982 and educated at Cambridge and the Städelschule, creates installations that blend autobiography with cultural critique through sculpture, video, and narrative. The exhibition includes works like 'Who the Bær' and 'Hope House,' which explore themes of authenticity, self-branding, and historical representation. The display runs until August 23, 2026, and positions Fujiwara alongside artists like Hito Steyerl and Cao Fei who investigate technology's impact on perception.
