'Where Are We Now?' - Solo Exhibition at D.Shevardnadze National Art Gallery
The multimedia project explores the contradictory and complicated nature of art, which can immerse us into the feelings or conditions of another subject, prompting us to empathize.
By means of generalization, emotional transference or projection artist gets us into an empathetic state and makes us intensely feel the other person's drama or psycho-emotional state and at the same time leaves us at a safe distance for ourselves.
The distance is the opportunity not only to stay safe but also to transform the felt drama into esthetical value. How can we realize and feel the reality in intense way by means of art and at the same time take distance from it, protect ourselves from everyday life and social routine? How to get from the concrete reality to the space of abstract ideas?
