Fujiwara's works have been widely exhibited around the world both in solo and group exhibitions. 'The museum of incest' is among his earliest performance-based works to be selected for individual display marking the beginning of his career as an artist. Originally performed in 2008 at the Limoncello Gallery in London, 'The museum of incest' was replicated in several occasions and contexts throughout the years. A printed guide has been published by Archive Books to accompany later versions of the installation.

In 2008, jointly with architect Sam Causer, Fujiwara conceived 'the closet gallery', a site-specific installation launched as part of the London Festival of Architecture and supported by the Architecture Foundation. His residency at the Los Angeles' MAK Centre for Contemporary Art culminated in 2009 with 'Impersonator', a performance investigating the cult of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

First exhibited in 2008 at the Neue Alte Brücke in Franckfurt am Main, 'Welcome to the Hotel Munber' denounced the oppression and censorship against homosexuals during the Francoist dictatorship in Spain. It was displayed, among the different locations, at Art Basel 41 in 2010, The Power Plant in 2011 and Tate St. Ives in 2012. It received particular attention on international media when in 2011 was censored at the Singapore Biennale. More specifically, some porno-homosexual imagery of the project were removed without the artist's consent.

For the 2010 Frieze Art Fair, he conceived 'Frozen'. Recognised with the Cartier Award for emerging artists, the site-specific installation recreates the archaeological ruins of an imaginary lost civilisation. In 2011 his first theatrical performance 'The boy who cried wolf' was presented at Berlin's Hebbel am Ufer theatre, New York's Performa 11 Biennale and San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art.

Awards
Between October 2008 and March 2009, Fujiwara was a MAK Centre's artist-in-residence at the Schindler House in Los Angeles. In 2009 was awarded the Arts Foundation Fellowship Award for Interior Architecture. The site-specific installation 'frozen' earned him the Cartier Award 2010 for emerging artists. The same year was awarded the Iaspis Residency in Gothenburg, and simultaneously with 'welcome to the Hotel Munberwon', installation on view at Art Statements Gallery (Hong Kong), won the Baloise Art Prize. In 2011 was nominated for the South Bank Award for the visual art category.
