Who對Who對Who?(一場大屠殺的景象)
Angela Liu:
You might have noticed that this painting by Simon Fujiwara looks similar to another work by Picasso in this room. This painting was commissioned for this exhibition to respond to Picasso’s 1951 painting, Massacre in Korea. It features Fujiwara’s fictional cartoon bear character, Who the Bær, who lives in the world of images and develops an insatiable desire to consume and transform into popular images of past and present.
Who the Bær is no stranger to Picasso, who has referenced the artist many times. Fujiwara imagines Who the Bær would say, ‘When you think of an artist, you think of Picasso.’
Take a closer look at Fujiwara’s larger and more vibrant version of the painting and you may spot other references to Picasso: a weeping woman, a bird that resembles Picasso’s peace dove, as well as a bear holding up a picture of Guernica. Fujiwara takes these elements from Picasso’s iconic work and adapts them for our present time. Details such as mobile phones and drones point to the contemporary setting but also remind us how we are part of this media landscape – as both the source and the recipient of this world of images.
This work is a commentary on how images circulate, take up meaning, and evolve. It invites us to reflect on our relationship with images and media in our time and age.
