Emiri Fujimoto

Emiri Fujimoto makes sculptures and installations that revolve around performative action and site responsiveness. She is thinking about which souvenir is chosen before the exit, locating her work in moments of a celebratory cake sits in an empty room, whenever A.G. Cook’s Beautiful (2023 edit) is playing: Baby, when you look at me, you know that I’ll be here forever. Baby, when I look at you, I know that we’ll be here together. Baby, when you look at me, you know that I’ll be here forever. Baby, when I look at you, I know that we’ll be here together. Together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together..., and a fading blush. Emiri received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts (2022) and an MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art (2025). She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Before we move on, let me open that candy wrapper

Nails, a wall, inside layer of a football, his Uniqlo suit sleeve with a button, skin of a camo boot, laminated instructions of the package of Popin’Cookin’ DIY candy kit, the yellow candy mold of shooting/falling star that comes with it, pressed against an (hopefully) air-tied candy wrapper wrapped with DryDex spackling mixed with studio debris, sugar, and aloe gel, tied with silver twist ties, plastic diamond earrings, and cut-off ponytails of a doll with clothing pins • 7 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches • 2025
