8 canvas (5 with broderie). Photos made on Cosmoscow art-fair. More about this work on Artsy: https://www.artsy.net/show/artis-moscow-artis-moscow-at-cosmoscow-2018 "There is a certain presumption of integrity, delegated to the nature and traditionally embodied as a sight of the landscape. Equally habitually, we contrast nature’s entirety with architecture, fragmenting space, and in general all our culture and civilization, as something extra-natural and splitting the world. However, in the installation by Fedora, we see first of all the disintegration and fragmentation of natural wholeness, we apprehend its unity as an artificial construction with missing parts. Visually, Fedora Akimova’s installation by means of traditional painting imitates the technogenic optics of photography. Yet, this painting is disturbed by needlework, depriving the picture of the medial uniqueness and turning it into a semiotic chimera, hovering between the picture and the object. Even more chimerical are the images of animals, which embroidery on canvas places in the landscape idyll as if made to interpret them through the code of the Russian magical forest. However, immediately in them appear impossible fusions of bodies of predators and herbivores, sometimes even birds. Moreover, the very substance of their loosely embroidered bodies is obviously from another world, more likely from the world of spirits and images than from the forest surrounding them. They are made from the same substance as dreams, although without Shakespeare's or human passions in general. But the paradox is that, that like embroidery, they belong to a reality common to the embroiderer and viewer, and therefore closer to our world than the convincing illusion of painting".

Fiodora Akimova is a mixed-media artist specializing in installations, video, and objects. Born in 1987 in Kyiv, she began her creative career as an illustrator after obtaining her first degree in Printmaking and Graphic Design. In 2010, she moved to Russia, first to Kaliningrad, then to Saint Petersburg, where she studied set design and staging. This degree in Theater Decoration and Scenography had a significant influence on her artistic development, as she integrated various techniques and crafts into her work. Since March 2022, Fedora has been living and working in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Paris. Before February 24, her works resembled plastic experiments used to express global civilizational and philosophical issues, reflecting an escapism into a hypothetical world devoid of humanity. The full-scale invasion, her relocation, and the complete upheaval of her daily life led her to reevaluate her identity and artistic strategy. Her "pre-war" research and artistic themes lost their relevance, pushing her to reinvent her artistic language.
