Tamar Botchorishvili: Meat-eater is Crying
Series of artworks in the 'Meat-eater is Crying' include two narratives - the first tells us a story of the artist鈥檚 dog and is directly connected to the artist鈥檚 personal experience while interacting with the creature. The second tells us about the discovery of geographic identity as cultural information and establishing necessary forms in order to depict this information. This process is the result of the artist鈥檚 dreamy and phantasmagoric trip to Tusheti region of Georgia.
Memory as history is an evolving structure that gives a certain meaning to an individual's life. Being in time makes human existence historical from the very beginning. Enigmatic events always leave their trace on us and change our point of perception. What is the trace? Whose is it? How does it affect us?
Life and death, playfulness and strictness, attractive and horrifying elements are all merged in each other in Botchorishvili鈥檚 works. At first, we must pay attention to figures and question how they fuse with the nature, what kind of phantasmagoric forms flow into each other? Forms of abstracted figures acquire enigmatic mood and their movements sometimes express humorous and gracious emotions.
