Born in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture in 1995, Naoto Fuchigami graduated from the Department of Physics and Applied Physics, Faculty of Engineering, Kansai University in 2018. After working as a Systems Engineer at Fujitsu Limited, he left the company in 2021 to pursue a career as an artist.

He creates works that explore the structure and peculiarities of the material world, as well as its relationship with humanity, from a microscopic perspective, focusing on elements such as atoms and molecules, which are the fundamental components of the world.

The phenomena and principles that emerge in the microscopic world are widely applied in fields like semiconductor technology, science, chemistry, biology, and medicine. However, these phenomena and principles often contradict human intuition and lead into the philosophical realm of interpretation. He is fascinated by the astonishingly strange nature of the components that make up the world, and his curiosity about the true nature and essence of the reality we live in led him to study quantum physics, which became the starting point for his artistic practice.

In his representative series, the "ℏ Series", he uses crushed silicon wafers (semiconductors) as a material, which are cut before becoming IC chips. Semiconductors, while supporting modern information society, were developed by applying the properties of the minuscule world that are difficult for humans to comprehend. He aims to express the eerie nature of these paradoxical properties, which ultimately form the foundation of society, and the uncanny aspects of the building blocks of our reality, which are based on such incomprehensible phenomena, as well as the limitations of humanity.

Additionally, by crushing semiconductors—products defined by humans—and returning them to their "material" form as fragments or powder, this act not only removes their functionality but also reflects his interest in human activities, such as the tendency to simplify and categorize things, or the inaccurate interpolations caused by simplification. This interest stems from the intersection of insights and values gained from physics and his subjective, emotional fundamental thoughts, forming the core of his work. He is intrigued by how science, including physics, is always an approximation of the material world, how humans categorize and fit others into easy-to-understand patterns, and how the transformation from the original form to a simpler one gives rise to differences, such as in the language of emotions.

He imbues meaning into materials through his unique perspective rooted in physics, exploring new possibilities for expression.
