From Folder Studio:

BeHere/1942 is a public art project and exhibition by Masaki Fujihata challenging the way we understand the experience of the forced relocation of Japanese Americans from Los Angeles in 1942 through a variety of media forms—from hyper-enlarged photographs to augmented reality technology.

The exhibition was shown at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles. The catalog was edited by Michael Emmerich and Erkki Huhtamo and published by the Yanai Initiative and the Japanese American National Museum.
