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". (Alexander Evangely)

Fedora Akimova is a mixed-media artist specializing in installations, video and objects. She was born in 1987 in Kyiv, where, after receiving her first degree in Printing and graphics, she began her creative career as an illustrator. In 2010 she moved to Russia – first to Kaliningrad, then to St. Petersburg, where she studied decoration and staging. This diploma in Theater Decoration and Stage design has impacted and developed her as a future artist, as she picked up many techniques and crafts into her art. From 2017 to March 2022 Fedora resided and practiced in Moscow, and had multiple exhibitions in private galleries and large institutions including: Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (2021), MMOMA Moscow (2021), Cosmoscow Contemporary Art Fair (2018, 2021) and others. Fedora's solo exhibitions were held at the Artis (2018), Lazy Mike (2021), etc. Her works are part of collections around the world: US, UK, Australia, Poland, Germany, France, South Korea, Mexico, Russia and of course, Ukraine. Since March, 2022, Fedora lives and works in Tbilisi, Georgia.
