Sagittarius and the Fox
Fedor Hiroshige was born in 1982. Lives and works in St. Petersburg.
Graduated from Saratov State University. N. G. Chernyshevsky.
Fedor Hiroshige works with various media, but as his main medium he most often turns to wood using the pyrography technique. Hiroshige's artistic method is based on the study of images of popular culture and folklore by placing them in the context of Eastern (Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese) spiritual practices. The paradoxical synthesis of different cultures and times allows the author to create recognizable post-apocalyptic worlds, where the traditional dichotomies of nature and culture, male and female, real and fictional, material and ideal, ancient and modern lose their actual status, turning out to be artificial constructs.
Working with personal mythology, Hiroshige makes performative interventions into everyday life in the form of a mushroom man, thereby exploring the boundaries of the human and non-human, the real and the surreal. The artist integrates elements of psychoanalytic theory, posthumanism and new ontologies into his work.
