Fragile Exhibition

Veneer Book

The August Fragile Exhibition will feature “Veneer Book” by Hikaru Fujii. This multiple work (Japanese War Art 1946) is based on an installation of Japanese war paintings at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2022, and contains two documentation books, video data, and artwork tags in a wooden box reassembled from scrap veneer after the exhibition was dismantled. The installation is a work of art that commemorates Japan's war paintings. Seventy-eight years after the war, the details of the document book and video, which were created by Hikaru Fujii on the theme of “war paintings,” bring back to life the blackened history of the war.
