Whilst in Cornwall I attended a Simon Fujiwara exhibition at Tate St.Ives. Although admittedly I found the work to be hard to first comprehend; upon reflection I feel I gained a lot from the exhibition as it encouraged me to think further about the work to find meaning.
By finding something rather puzzling at first I feel as though this has enabled me to broadened my outlook in my artist research instead of only looking to painters for inspiration.
Simon Fujiwara's work is largely autobiographical installations where he combines fact and fiction. By blurring the line between fact and fiction he could create a misconception in the viewers mind; I believe this is particularly relevant to me as by zooming into photographs to only see colour, the viewer is experiencing a misconception as they do not see the full picture.
