Fuji Hiroshi (藤浩志)

Born 1960, Kagoshima, Japan. Although a graduate of the Kyoto City Arts University majoring in dyeing and weaving, Fuji had a keener interest in the theatre arts which led him to pursue performance productions and installations. Establishing a performance unit, “Kyoto Information Company in 1983 upon entering the graduate degree of the same university, his ardent experimenting with various spaces began in these years. His representative works include, Koinobori Swimming in Kamogawa River (1983) for which he was by the Kyoto City Civil Engineering Department, The Marriage Problem Between Haniwa and Godzilla (1985-86) for which he earned his master’s degree, Vinyl Plastics Connection (1999), Walk with the Dog 2000, Kaiko Bazaar in an M1 (2004) and Kaeru Caravan (2005 ~ ). Involved in many workshops that focus on environmental issues, Fuji explores with the diverse spaces and pre-existing conventions, occasionally provoking reactionary responses from audiences of all range. His achievement in winning the grand-prix at the 2006 Bangladesh Biennale should also be noted for his participation in promoting the diversity in contemporary Japanese art. Fuji currently lives and works in Fukuoka.
1960 年生于日本鹿儿岛。虽然毕业于京都城市艺术大学,主修染织,但是藤浩志对剧场艺术产生了浓厚兴趣,这也促使他继续追求表演作品和装置的创作。 他筹建了名为“1983年京都信息公司”的表演机构,公司招募了同一所大学的大学生,并在此后的几年间在各种空间积极地进行实验。他的代表作品包括为京都城市土木工程学院创作的《Koinobori Swimming in Kamogawa River》 (1983);为他赢得了硕士学位的《The Marriage Problem Between Haniwa and Godzilla 》(1985-86) ;《Vinyl Plastics Connection》(《乙烯基塑料连接》) (1999); 《Walk with the Dog》(《与狗同行》) 2000;《Kaiko Bazaar in an M1》 (2004) 和《Kaeru Caravan》 (2005 ~ )。由于藤浩志与很多关注环境问题的工作室合作,探究各种空间和现存的惯例,因此有时会引起所有观众的强烈反对。他的成就在于赢得了2006孟加拉国双年展的重大奖项,此外,他参与推动当代日本艺术多样性的贡献也是不可忽略的。藤浩志目前在福冈生活和工作。
