What is the link between the first man on earth and the history of incest ? Could human existence be reduced to a tale of transgressive eroticism ?
Simon Fujiwara's slide presentation transports us into a parallel reality made of whimsical thoughts, witty accounts of intimacy. The fluidity of his speech, the constant use of digression create a sense of de-construction of the narrative, an alternative auditive space, an heterotopia of language.
Fujiwara's imaginary architecture exists as a non-object, a non-space. A museum which artefacts don't really exist, since incest is taboo, which focuses on archeology, a science that isn't accurate, can only refer to a form of invisibility.
The art of Fujiwara is the art to bewitch, the art to tell stories.
Hello Anna, there is a relevant bit of science fantasy in this weeks New Scientist (They Know What You are Thinking,Ewen Callaway, NS, 31/10/09) about 'neural decoding' - about generating figurative images from brain scans - or 'a way to understand how the hippocampus and other brain regions form and recall a memory'.
