MAK Center for Art and Architecture L.A. at the Schindler House, 835 North Kings Road, West Hollywood, CA 90069

Simon Fujiwara's work brings together architectural history, taboo and sexuality through short stories, performances and installations. In a site-specific installation and performance, Impersonator, Fujiwara brought together the history of the Schindler house and the biography of Arnold Schwarzenegger, narrated through a guided tour performed in Schindler's former Studio. Performed by actor Lyndall Grant, the monologue-guide described a visit by Schwarzenegger to the house in 1980, at a point when he was deciding between embarking on a career in acting and a career in architecture.
