FUJII Hikaru shows video works structurally criticizing social and historical issues that have not yet been discussed. Both video works and presented in the exhibition deal with exhibition spaces that are closed due to disasters. While shows images of Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo closed during COVID-19 pandemic, discusses about the collection of History and Folklore Museum Futaba-Machi that is in danger of disposal due to radioactive contamination after Fukushima Daiichii Nuclear Power Plant Disaster. Paradoxically warnings of disasters and the premonition of catastrophe are more obviously exposed in these two works, because the access to the sites is impossible and the museum and the collection are a
space and objects to be seen by nature. By capturing the unexposed disasterscenes, the artist experiments the way of remembering and discussing a disaster.
