Hikaru Fujii
Since its opening, the Artizon Museum has held its annual Jam Session, a collaborative exhibition that combines works from the Ishibashi Foundation Collection with those of a contemporary artist. For the seventh Jam Session, we welcome Fujii Hikaru, who has studied the close relationship between the arts, society, and history through detailed research and fieldwork.
In this exhibition, Fujii focuses on the central theme of “light = truth,” from Plato's “Allegory of the Cave,” in Book VII of The Republic. Rather than focusing on what the light illuminates, he inverts the question to “Who is shining that light?” and critically reexamines the very structure of truth itself. In response to that query, this exhibition displays works from the Ishibashi Foundation Collection, following a timeline from ancient times, the middle ages, the modern period, and the postwar period, along with work by Fujii, including new work by the artist.
