Fujimoto began participating in projects of the performance group Dumb Type in 1987. He designed the lighting for the performance works S/N , OR , memorandum and Voyage and went on to do the lighting design and overall technical management since OR . He also worked with Ryoji Ikeda on the video and music concert series formula and has participated primarily as the lighting designer in performance and multimedia works by a number of overseas artists including the Hong Kong choreographer Daniel Yeung, the Vietnam-born French choreographer Ea Sola, Singapore’s video artist Choy Ka Fai and others. In recent years he has worked on the installation/concert path with the guitarist Kazuhisa Uchihashi and the singer UA, collaborated with the dance company Monochrome Circus to create works like Refined Colors and lost that make use of the unique potential of LED lighting. For his latest work true in 2007, he worked with two performers, Tsuyoshi Shirai (AbsT/BANETO) and Takao Kawaguchi (Dumb Type) and put together a multi-talented technical team to focus on integrating LED lighting with other digital devices in order to create a highly organic stage work. In his working process he actively employs the latest digital technologies in works for the stage with the aim of creating new “circuits” to connect directly to the audience with no less strength than the connection created by the stage performer communicating directly to the audience in a live stage experience.
