Hope House – A Guided Tour

​

Emerging from his most ambitious installation project to date – Simon Fujiwara’s keynote lecture performance transported the audience through the process of reproducing a full-scale replica of the Anne Frank House presented as a building within a building across four floors of a gallery in Tel Aviv. Synthesizing a variety of ethical, economical, and practical questions around the now global culture of capitalism and consumption into a compelling performance for which he is internationally known, Fujiwara presented a rich, contradictory, and indeed “uneasy picture of the most cherished human desires: to do good, to belong, to love.”
