Andrey Tsoy
Fetishes, cult, patience permeates our visible and invisible world. This series explores how strongly ‘dual’ fetishism is within us. Tsoy explores fetishism in the sense of the french meaning, with fetiche meaning witchcraft. An inanimate object which is the subject of blind worship is an object of fetish.
The series explores many different types of fetishes, with the main two being religious and erotic. Tsoy explores the original motive of Religious fetishism, which constitutes blind worship towards ‘miracle’ bringing objects, such as relics and particular amulets. In erotic fetishism there is a psychological motivation, where the spiritual or physical properties of an object can induce a fanatic obsession. Tsoy uses incredible detail in his piece to contemplate these complex ideas using his own unique style.
