Laboratory For The Future, 2007

C type print, 101cm x 76cm

I share something with the majority of Georgians: I am profoundly affected by the violent change of the image. It is no longer legible. The layers of past are intertwined with the sheets of present, the city and the country itself are divided into the zones of activity and the zones of complete inactivity and inertia. I am interested in these gaps, the holes in an urban landscape. For this project I chose as a foundation a segment of the past—the industrial architecture of Soviet Georgia—that mingled with the philosophy of chaos and thus led to a deconstructionist trend that I consider to be specific because of its political context.
