Kirill Savchenkov studied at the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (2004–2009), and the Rodchenko Art School (2009–2012, Oleg Klimov’ Documentary Photography Studio and Roman Minaev’s Intermedia Studio). He works with various media including photography, video, text, installation and various performative practices engaging the audience (tours, workshops). His practice often deals with themes of memory and relations between the city space and human mentality, exploring various aspects of life in suburbia, contemporary information streams and the way they affect subcultures and communities.
In 2022 he represents Russia at the 59th Venice Biennale together with Alexandra Sukhareva.
