Satoshi Fujiwara is a Berlin-based artist and photographer. He initiates a pressing and critical action on the gazer, through the focal length set from portrayed subjects and the heterogeneous definition of his photographs, diverting from the standards of photo-journalism and an exclusively documentary dimension, thus producing a new emerging lexicon.

He has produced and contributed to several art books such as Code Unknown, Satoshi Fujiwara, IMA, 2015; 5K CONFINEMENT: HD environment surface surveillance, Luigi Alberto Cippini, Fondazione Prada, 2015; HORSES, Satoshi Fujiwara and Yngve Holen, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, 2018.
