Hiroko Tsuchimoto is a Japanese-born, Stockholm-based visual artist whose practice moves across participatory performance, drawing, walking, textile work, fermentation, and gardening. Her work takes as its premise the continuity between human and more-than-human life, questioning the ontological separations through which Western modernity has organized nature, otherness, and belonging.
Working in staged, public, and liminal spaces, she creates conditions for collective sensing and attention: to seasonal change, to material texture, to the presence of other species and the histories sedimented in place. These encounters are not illustrative but constitutive — she is interested in what forms of subjectivity and relation become possible when participants slow down and attend otherwise.
Her projects engage critically with colonial epistemologies and the dichotomous structures they produce, while proposing alternative frameworks rooted in relational ontology, ecological continuity, and the possibility of plural worlding. Collaboration with human participants, with plants, with soil, with inherited and situated knowledge is not incidental to this work but its method and its claim.
