Hiroki Tsukuda

Hiroki Tsukuda creates dynamic, urban spaces in which reality and imagination, nature, human beings, and architecture coexist in turbulent, futuristic scenarios. Tsukuda’s installation Lord of the Flies is a continuation of the artist’s exploration of otherworldly realms, fashioned by the aesthetics of sci-fi movies, video games, animations, music, and manga. The large weaponized cyborg-insectoid here dominates an environment of rubble, rocks, and destroyed architectural elements, but also flourishing vegetation overshadowed by a blackened sun. The title Lord of the Flies is inspired by Peter Brooks’s movie adaption of William Golding’s 1954 novel of the same name. With its harrowing tale depicting the melt-down from so-called civilization to savagery, Tsukuda creates a haunting allegory of our current times with an unknown outcome.Hiroki Tsukuda (born 1978 in Kagawa, Japan) merges a neo-futuristic worldview with traditionally Japanese sensibility. His works are held in the collections of MoMA, New York, Thyssen-Bornemisza, Vienna, and the Jean Pigozzi Foundation, Geneva. Tsukuda lives and works in Tokyo.
