About this work
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Published by CIRCA on the occasion of Hello Who? (2022), this hand-signed silkscreen print brings Simon Fujiwara's celebrated character Who the Bær into a monumental new form. Conceived as both artwork and protagonist, Who the Bær occupies a universe where identity remains fluid, unresolved and perpetually in formation, reflecting many of the questions that define contemporary life.\n\nCreated during a period when reality increasingly appeared mediated through screens, images and online personas, Who the Bær emerged as Fujiwara's playful yet incisive response to a world saturated by representation. Possessing no fixed race, gender or sexuality, the character navigates a landscape of endless images in search of an authentic self. Through humour, absurdity and vulnerability, Fujiwara uses Who to explore how identity is constructed, performed and consumed in contemporary culture.\n\nReleased alongside Hello Who?, Fujiwara's stop-motion commission for CIRCA, the edition formed part of a wider public project broadcast across London, Berlin, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Milan, New York and Seoul. Through a series of personal, political and philosophical questions, Who the Bær invited audiences to reflect on belonging, authenticity and the increasingly complex relationship between the individual and the image. Simultaneously joyful and unsettling, Who the Bær embodies Fujiwara's ability to use fiction, humour and popular culture to illuminate some of the defining questions of our time.\n"}]}]}
