Emiri Fujimoto: “Bye” “Byeee” […]

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 amidst a celebratory cake sitting 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.
