Since 2017 Fujiwara has heavily researched the history of the Anne Frank house, uncovering strange new narratives that shape the way we think about history, memory and tragedy in a new technological era of hyper capitalism. This work was originally displayed in Fujiwara’s full reconstruction of the Anne Frank House in 2018. For celebrities a visit to the Anne Frank house during their stay in Amsterdam is almost mandatory. The association of ‘goodness’ and the sublime ‘historical narrative’ allow celebrities a rare opportunity to appear humble and sensitive. This is a replica of the outfit Beyonce wore during her much publicized visit to the house. Mediated as a sensitive move, she wore a low cost high street brand Topshop during her visit to signal unity with the people. After her first instagram post, and within 45 minutes, the Topshop items were sold out internationally. Here a hand made replica by the artist, a reconstruction, is displayed in reference to Joseph Beuys’s Felt Suit, with its own intricate links to German history.
