This publication is produced on the occasion of the Japanese/British artist Simon Fujiwara's solo exhibition at the Tate St. Ives, the UK, from June to May 2012. The book details ten works that were on display, five of which are specially commissioned in the context of the Tate St. Ives, which is located only one mile from Carbis Bay, the place where Fujiwara grew up.
The ten works featured represent adventures of different modes of representation and mixed media, for he has written semi-fictional essays which contextualise/mythologise the artworks he showed. These installations contain a wide variety of objects included guidebooks, photographs, texts, drawings, and readymades. 

'Much of Fujiwara’s work draws on his biography, creating engaging and sometimes challenging stories which mix fact and fiction to compelling and powerful effect. Using his family history, he fuses the private sphere with the social realm, blurring reality and storytelling to create a drama in which he plays the roles of multiple characters: anthropologist, novelist, and eroticist among others.
The exhibition includes important recent works such as The Mirror Stage 2009–12, an exploration of Fujiwara’s adolescent encounter with a Patrick Heron painting at the opening of Tate St Ives in 1993; Welcome to the Hotel Munber2008–10, the set for an erotic narrative which takes place in the stereotypical Spanish bar his parents ran in the 1970s; and Letters from Mexico 2010–11, a group of dispatches the artist has written to ‘Europe’, which discuss subjects ranging from colonialism and class inequality to sexual liberation.
In addition, the show presents a number of newly commissioned works. These include Rehearsal for a Reunion (with the Father of Pottery) 2011–12, a revisiting of Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada’s friendship in the form of a pottery workshop Fujiwara undertook with his Japanese father; Saint Simon, the Reincarnation of Judas 2012, an effigy of a South American folklore saint whose face has been replaced by that of the artist; and Mothers, of Invention 2012, a stage-like display inspired, in part, by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Barbara Hepworth’s St Ives studio.' - from the Tate's website.
