The son of a theologian, Hawaii-based French artist Pierre Fichefeux roots his work in philosophy and cosmology, seeking order in the chaotic forces of nature. In his Boston Dynamics series, he portrays a fictional world where enormous robot-like creatures roam the earth, seemingly godly in nature. Their existence is ambiguous, set either far in the past, perhaps 30,000 years ago, or in a distant future like the year 4057. Unlike animals or humans, who may display territorial behaviors leading to conflicts and destruction, robots lack such instincts or the need for personal space. This aterritorial nature of robots offers advantages, as it allows them to be adaptable, flexible, and capable of operating in diverse environments without territorial boundaries or conflicts. In certain instances, robots can even provide us valuable insights into our own behaviors. Pierre’s work has been exhibited in galleries throughout Europe, Asia and the US.
