Hiroko Tsuchimoto is a Japanese-born, Stockholm-based artist caring about and working with humans and more-than-human entities. Over the past ten years, she has been producing performances with audience participation both on stage and in public spaces, yet her interest is currently shifting from front-stage to rehearsals and behind-the-scenes, from egology to ecology, from production-oriented to research-based, and from watering houseplants to touching soil.

Her latest project aims to redefine the state of Melancholy as a chance to imagine different futures which relate to other beings, places, and environments by being faithful to loss and grief with introjection and remembrance. She chose a botanical garden as a platform for this project, reframing the place as a melancholic meeting point. The tradition of botanical gardens was historically guided by imperial desires and powers, profoundly tied with colonial history, plant classification systems, and the Nature-Culture dualism. However, they are also nowadays one of the few urban green spaces, open and educational spaces for the public, where much environmental discourse and scientific research has taken a place.

Since 2008, Tsuchimoto has presented her works internationally both inside and outside art spaces. Her recent solo/collaborative projects have been featured at Lagos Biennial (NG), Verkstad konsthall in Norrköping (SE), Dhaka Live Art Biennale (BD), Small Projects in Tromsø (NO), 3:e Våningen in Gothenburg (SE), Ravy Biennale in Yaoundé (CMR), and Bag Factory Artists' Studios in Johannesburg (ZA). She is a working grant recipient from The Swedish Arts Grants Committee for the years 2013/2016-2017/2022-2023, as well as a grant holder at the IASPIS studio residency in Johannesburg in 2018.
