Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili
BIOGRAPHY
Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili (b. 1979, Tbilisi) is a Georgian-American photographer living in Berlin.
Where a photograph is classically understood to freeze a moment in time, Ketuta Alexi-Meskhishvili’s work undoes such claims of fixity, positing the medium instead as a process of developing and revealing. Typically staging her compositions in the window of her studio or directly on the surface of a negative film emulsion in a “camera-less” method, she melds experimental analogue techniques and digital scanning to make images in which the residual details of this deliberately precarious production shape their subject matter. Homing in on porous boundaries between life and art Alexi-Meskhishvili melds the grotesque, beautiful, abject, feminine, uncanny in ambivalent cohesion.
