Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 5:1 | Russie, Italie | 2022

Kirill Savchenkov, born in 1987 in Moscow, currently lives and works in France. He works with various media including mediated sculpture, installation, performance, and sound. His artistic practice raises the questions of agency, identity and autocracy in the tech-social milieu. He was nominated to represent Russia in the national pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennial in 2022 but withdrew from the project in protest over the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Over the years, his works have been presented in institutions such as Transart Festival, Italy, 2022; 14th Baltic Triennial, Lithuania, 2021; Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Russia, 2021; V-A-C Zattere, Italy, 2019; 12th Gwangju Biennale, South Korea, 2018.
