2018 年東京藝術大学大学院メディア映像専攻修了。2016 年東京外国語大学外国語学部南・西アジア課程ペルシア語専攻卒業。人工的なテクスチャと触覚性に注目したイメージを強調することによって、現代都市における時間と土地の連続から解放され得る風景を蓄積する。物が物として存在する視界において自律を獲得していく姿を描出。作者の手を離れ得る3DCGにより生成したイメージ等を用い、映像、立体、インスタレーション、AR等を通じて都市や郊外における新たな風景の在り方を表現する。

Asako Fujikura was born in Saitama, Japan in 1992. She currently lives and works in Tokyo. Fujikura received her Master of Film and New Media degree from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2018 and her Bachelor of Language and Culture Studies degree from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies in 2016. Accentuating images with artificial textures and tactile sensations, Fujikura assembles scenes that can free us from the continuation of time and sprawl in the modern city. The scenes materialize from industrial goods designed, manufactured, and installed by humans. Overwhelmed by the excess of the city, these items deviate from their programmed functions and from human control. As naked objects, they derive a peculiar trace of spirituality and a primal animism. On a plane where things exist as things, they render a form which will go on to possess autonomy. Interweaving 3D CG animation techniques and computer programming, Fujikura generates movement that surpasses even the creator’ s intentions and devises a fabricated realization which can be perceived only through a screen.

Her work was selected for recognition by the jury of the 22nd Japan Media Arts Festival in 2019. Fujikura’ s recent exhibitions include a solo exhibition entitled Colony Highway Broadcast (NTT Inter Communication Center, Tokyo, 2018), and group exhibitions in Back Tokyo Forth(Tokyo International Cruise Terminal ,Tokyo, 2021), FLUSH(EUKARYOTE, Tokyo, 2021), The Museum in the Multi-layered World,(NTT Inter Communication Center [ICC], Tokyo, 2021) and Close to Nature, Next to Humanity,(Taitung Art Museum, 2020).
