HAZUKI FUKUDA

Hazuki Fukuda is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and filmmaker whose work moves between visual art, literature, and socially engaged cinema. Originally influenced by Japanese storytelling traditions and contemporary European art discourse, Hazuki Fukuda explores themes such as discrimination, identity, war, peace, memory, and the emotional gray zones of human experience.

Visual Art

As a visual artist, Hazuki Fukuda has presented numerous solo and group exhibitions across Germany, including exhibitions at the Anti-War Museum Berlin and participation in the “Nacht der Museen” in Düsseldorf. In 2023, the solo exhibition Paintings about Dreams and Wishes was presented in Düsseldorf within the framework of the Cultural Office of the City of Düsseldorf. The paintings often combine symbolic, dreamlike imagery with social and political reflection, addressing subjects such as racism, diversity, and collective humanity.

Literature

Alongside the visual arts, Hazuki Fukuda has established a literary practice through novels, poetry, and short fiction. Published works include the novel Thank You Life, Thank You Death (United p.c., Austria), as well as contributions to several anthologies and literary magazines in Germany and Switzerland. Literary readings have been presented in collaboration with cultural institutions including the German-Japanese Society and various literary festivals.

Film

In recent years, Hazuki Fukuda has increasingly expanded into filmmaking through directing, screenwriting, editing, acting, and producing. Following professional training through the European Commission-funded CinemaToMedia project, Hazuki Fukuda participated in several socially engaged film productions addressing themes such as climate change, democracy, freedom of speech, war, and peace. Films involving Hazuki Fukuda have been screened internationally, including in Jordan, Tunisia, Germany, and the United States. In 2026, one short film was selected for the Latino & Native American Film Festival in the USA from more than 2,500 submissions.

Artistic Approach

Across all artistic disciplines, Hazuki Fukuda’s work is characterized by an interest in ambiguity rather than simplistic moral divisions. Through painting, writing, and film, Hazuki Fukuda seeks to create spaces for empathy, dialogue, and reflection on the contradictions of contemporary society.
