Ears with Chair at CAP HOUSE - by Yukio Fujimoto

Yukio Fujimoto visited my studio at C.A.P and participated in an interview for the Amsterdam Biennale. He shared with us examples of his work. Some of that work is currently being shown at Mediamatic Bank the biennale site.

Below you can find a portion of his interview. Please return to these sites as we will continue to show the works of Fujimoto san and other artists of the Biennale.

Fujimoto's works are frequently described as interactive. This probably stems from the fact that many works involve the viewer in some sort of activity, such as winding up music boxes. In truth, it would more accurate to say that what makes them truly interactive isn't the extent to which they can be touched, but rather, the extent to which a viewer can process the sound, light and visual imagery produced by the work. This has always been a part of art work. But in Fujimoto's work, through the act of changing a space into a work of art with music as an intermediary, the very movement of a viewer in the space becomes an essential element of the work.

Fujimoto teaches at Kyoto University of Art and Design and is a founding member of C.A.P.
